Abstract
The implications of the new regime of harsher migration and refugee policies are explored and viewed in historical context. Fear of terrorism is cited as the reason for current proposals for exclusion of migrants from Muslim-majority countries, but this fear is tainted by political manipulation and exaggeration. Social workers face a number of challenges raised by the new policies. Roles for social work include advocacy at all levels from direct service provision to national policy advocacy, the responsibility to advocate for truth and combat demagoguery, and most importantly, to uphold ethical codes that prohibit the violation of migrants’ confidentiality.
