ABSTRACT
Over the past 15 years, right-wing nationalist populist language and ideals have come to the forefront of political and social discussions in the US. The purpose of this type of populism in the US is to increase divisions in the population in such a way that certain groups of people in the general population (i.e. Protestant and white), are valued more than others, such as newly arrived refugees and/or immigrants. This chapter explores the impact of US right-wing nationalist populism on refugee resettlement and the process of integration for newly arrived groups. The role of social work in advocating for support of refugees is examined.
