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.

Immigration should be more difficult for all
@8VVMYDX4yrs4Y
No, but improve government screening of individuals
@8VV435Q4yrs4Y
Stricter screening policy from high risk countries
@8VHWNG54yrs4Y
No, but I think those from ''high risk'' countries should have a good reason for coming here, have a plan, and undergo psychological tests. This should be done along with any current screening they have in place.
@8VG9LHR4yrs4Y
@8VCBXJS4yrs4Y
No but there definitely needs to be more focus on the screening and follow up procedures
@8TP46Z34yrs4Y
I don’t think we should ban immigrants based on their religion, if a immigrant shows sign of violence or a “high risk” threat, they should not be allowed to come to Canada.
@8TM7B2S4yrs4Y
No, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional, but they should also be screened for any criminal activity or potential criminal record.
@8TBDH7S4yrs4Y
Muslim’s shouldn’t be allowed in Canada
@8RMFXFD4yrs4Y
No, but background check immigrants to make sure they are not a danger to society.
@8QQDC3J4yrs4Y
Immigration through proper channels, with people who are willing to work is fine with proper backround checks, regardless of religion or color of skin, but commit a violent crime or only leach off of the system, deport.
@8CHK3NVNew Democratic5yrs5Y
No, but have increased screening for those in high risk countries.
@8VVS9FC4yrs4Y
Immigration from high risk countries should be much stricter and have certain conditions for at least 25 years
@9B7V9MT2yrs2Y
Only if they come from a country that has a common terrorist problem such as Syria, and Iraq
