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.

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.
@8PVFBQB4yrs4Y
If they are going to do this to Muslims, they should do this to every immigrant that enters this country.
@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
@8NMJNN2Libertarian4yrs4Y
There should be a cap on how many immigrants we allow per year. It should be much less than the Liberal's current stance.
@8FYNXSG5yrs5Y
Muslim immigrants should not be banned from entering the country, but the government should focus on improving its ability to identify potential terrorists.
@9B556TC2yrs2Y
All depends on their reputation in the country they want to immigrate from
@8ZGYJSG3yrs3Y
yes because we would be weeding out terrorist and no because it would be considered a race crime.
@3GZTJR25yrs5Y
No, however ban all immigration until the government improves its screening process
