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.

@8WLJNNQ4yrs4Y
No, this is straight-up racist
@8VVKKFK4yrs4Y
The government should screen all immigrants the same.
@8VTS2BW4yrs4Y
No but more strict guidelines and checks put in place
@8VSRZ8M4yrs4Y
Any immigrants should be screened for criminal or terrioist activity.
@8VNNV57New Democratic4yrs4Y
Be allowed in the country. But be screened and not be able to vote. ( but technically everyone should be screened.. anyone can be a terrorist!)
@8VLTDY74yrs4Y
no but there should be a screening process with more depth to countries who have subatantial terrorists cells
@8VLQT7V4yrs4Y
they should be screened, but no.
@8VHV7XS4yrs4Y
Until we fix our own internal situations we should not allowe refugees from other countries
@8TVPY844yrs4Y
I think all immigrants should be banned from entering this country until the government improves its ability to screen out potential problems
@8T7LX3C4yrs4Y
I think banning them is a little to intense but make sure that they are terrorists
@8P3RN2B4yrs4Y
No not everyone is a terrorist. But I feel like the screening process should be gravely improved and with a plan to relocate back to their homes in the long run if safely permitted.
@8DCHBFB5yrs5Y
Have high quality security checks on anyone immigrating to Canada
@9C67CW5Conservative2yrs2Y
No, but have improved screening processes.
@8VDHSJB4yrs4Y
I feel like for the time being people they view as threatening or potential threats should be banned but people seeking genuine help and a new start should be able to come in with proper terms
@8SDSV3C4yrs4Y
Muslim immigrants should be allowed to immigrate as long as they are not confirmed to be working with a terrorist organization after screening. Immigrants are just normal innocent people.
@95L97V23yrs3Y
No, as long as they pass in every other screening test i.e. Background tests, ancestry, X-ray, etc.
@8ZTXD6B3yrs3Y
Muslims are not terrorist
@8Z3VFYJConservative3yrs3Y
yes, until we can help our own peopel before welcoming new ones
