Proponents argue that this strategy would bolster national security by minimizing the risk of potential terrorists entering the country. Enhanced screening processes, once implemented, would provide a more thorough assessment of applicants, reducing the likelihood of malicious actors gaining entry. Critics argue that such a policy might inadvertently promote discrimination by broadly categorizing individuals based on their nation of origin rather than specific, credible threat intelligence. It may strain diplomatic relations with the affected countries and potentially harm the perception of the nation enacting the ban, being seen as hostile or prejudiced towards certain international communities. Additionally, genuine refugees fleeing terrorism or persecution in their home countries might be unjustly denied safe haven.

No, but we should be cautious about immigrants who are allowed into the country. Maybe do a background check on potential terrorists.

No, but we should increase screening from higher risked countries
@8SQDZJ24yrs4Y
They should not be "banned", improve the ability to screen everyone of any race/religion to ensure national safety.
@8SC7CH6New Democratic4yrs4Y
why just muslims? any race could potentially be a terrorist.
@8S2YW344yrs4Y
No, this isn't fair, if we do this then we can't limit screening to one religion we must do it for everyone.
@8DM8TJ55yrs5Y
Make them take the lie test to see if they are threats to national security
@99LRPKF2yrs2Y
No, but not allow rampant entry either. As long as immigration does not endanger the populace
@9CM3CQC2yrs2Y
The country to which they immigrate to should have to provide their own screening
@9B64LRJ2yrs2Y
Like how our justice system is based on innocence until proven guilty; as long as an immigrant is deemed safe, they should be allowed to enter the country no matter from where.
Banning Muslims altogether is unconstitutional. However a criminal record check may be a good idea. But may it be a FAIR criminal record check.
@8ZG86HGNew Democratic3yrs3Y
No, but increase background check for all immigrants
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
No, but immigrants from "high risk" countries should have thorough background checks completed before entering our country.
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
No, but immigrants from "high risk" countries should have thorough background checks completed to screen out potential acts of terrorism, regardless of race or religion
@3GZTJR25yrs5Y
No, however ban all immigration until the government improves its screening process
