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.

Everyone should be getting screened to enter the country.
@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
@8XX4R87New Democratic3yrs3Y
A. this question is self is so stupid yall should shut yourselfs down for it.
@8VHV7XS4yrs4Y
Until we fix our own internal situations we should not allowe refugees from other countries
@8VHQJDKNew Democratic4yrs4Y
This is racism and absolutely not
@8VCGKD24yrs4Y
Depends, if that person is connected with former terrorist groups
@8SQDZJ24yrs4Y
They should not be "banned", improve the ability to screen everyone of any race/religion to ensure national safety.
@ThoticusPrime4yrs4Y
No, this question itself is islamophobic...
@8PN38GZ4yrs4Y
No because this is super racist, you could say the same thing about multiple people and it would be wrong. There is a very low chance for a TERRORIST to come into Canada, thus making this idea illogical and stupid
@8H9QYNV5yrs5Y
Everyone should be screened the same
@99LRPKF2yrs2Y
No, but not allow rampant entry either. As long as immigration does not endanger the populace
@8VSFNGR4yrs4Y
No, but we should be particularly cautious of "high risk" countries and perhaps enact additional screening measures
@8VJSM9Z4yrs4Y
no, they should be allowed to come into our country if they have something to offer. if we wanted to enter their country, we would have to abide by all their laws and rules. they walk into canada like its a carnival. they dont bring anything to our society but being another expense for tax payers.
@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 to screen out potential acts of terrorism, regardless of race or religion
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
No, but immigrants from "high risk" countries should have thorough background checks completed before entering our country.
@3GZTJR25yrs5Y
No, however ban all immigration until the government improves its screening process
