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.

This is a derogatory question which synonymies terrorism with Muslims. Disgusting. Terrorists are not from one religion or faith, every faith has terrorist.
@8SK7VFB4yrs4Y
@8RBGR534yrs4Y
No, but we should be cautious about immigrants who are allowed into the country. Maybe do a background check on potential terrorists.
@943PG5Y3yrs3Y
No, but but the immigrant screening process should involve a very in depth "morality quiz/interview" related to human rights. For example, if your religion considers women unequal to men and you agree, you will not pass the test.
@92TDGFR3yrs3Y
Every person immigrating to Canada should undergo the same screening process
@929JF7B3yrs3Y
No. Anyone skilled enough will find a way through and that making it harder for legitimate people is not the way to fix it. This can only truly be fix by more transparency between governments and their emigrating population
@8WLJNNQ4yrs4Y
No, this is straight-up racist
@8VVMKMG4yrs4Y
Everyone should need a terrorist check
@8VMFPYMNew Democratic4yrs4Y
No but do extensive background checks especially from "high risk"countries
@8VKH5V34yrs4Y
I think there should be a vetting process for ANY immigrant
@8VJ4TBZ4yrs4Y
I believe they should be allowed to come here if screening deems them safe however giving them money and homes should not be a part of the deal. We should be helping our own first as we have high homeless numbers and our seniors and veterans are being ignored in my opinion.
@8VGRHV94yrs4Y
Canadians struggle as it is for jobs and housing. I disagree anyone coming from foreign countries
@8V7SSGX4yrs4Y
No, but there should be consistent screening done on them before and after entering Canada
@8TYLGR64yrs4Y
Just add a more thorough process, no need to ban it at all just implement quick changes to decrease the rates
No, but the process for immigrants coming from “high risk” countries should be more thorough
No, but we should increase screening from higher risked countries
Yes however depends on where they came from.
@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.
@8RN2SHT4yrs4Y
They should up the screening on people from high risk countries but if they pass they can come in
@8R3H4M64yrs4Y
We should let them in unless there is reasonable suspicion or reason to think they are one.
@8QKHSWD4yrs4Y
there are terrorists all over the world, not only Muslims.
@8QFVJYV4yrs4Y
@8PVFBQB4yrs4Y
If they are going to do this to Muslims, they should do this to every immigrant that enters this country.
@8PKB57X4yrs4Y
No, but perform background checks and continuous check ins
@8P7GPDV4yrs4Y
Have a proven and acted on vetting process
@8NWLD2Z4yrs4Y
We should keep in mind criminal potential within all immigration, not just on Arabic nations. However, we should keep discrimination at a low and allow immigration while still doing background checks
@8NWF2PQ4yrs4Y
More screening should be done
@8NJXXX54yrs4Y
no, but they should be checked in on until the screening
@adfafjNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Case by case basis with background checks
@8KJM4TX4yrs4Y
No, but everyone should be going through the same, intense, screening process.
@8H9QYNV5yrs5Y
Everyone should be screened the same
@8GBDQ68Conservative5yrs5Y
Do a screening before they entire the country and don't ban anyone unless they've committed a crime
@997MD5T2yrs2Y
No but we should have string vetting for individuals
@966GT243yrs3Y
Ban immigrants from high risk countries, unless they have no bad background.
@8JW33M84yrs4Y
Stop blaming one race, us First Nations were here way before you. Stop letting everyone IN. You could leave to make there be less population.
@8GXZ5SM5yrs5Y
There should be a higher screening process initially
@9B6L7DJ2yrs2Y
No, but we should check people more thoroughly
@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.
@939NMG83yrs3Y
@8ZQ72FN3yrs3Y
We should lower the amount of immigrants we allow in the country in order to ensure everyone in the country can be taken care of before taking care of others, ensuring the resources are avaliable for longer for more individuals over a long period of time.
@8S2LJ243yrs3Y
No, banning anyone based on who they are, what they believe in, and what they have done in the past is against the teachings of Jesus Christ
