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.

No, but i do think they should run background checks and other things in order to decrease terrorist attacks.
@9FX7N8FNew Democratic2yrs2Y
I think they should screen anyone they feel is a risk of being involved in terrorism, not just specifically one group of people.
Not all terrorists are Muslim, and banning people based on religion could also be unethical. We should screen out potential terrorists better and more effectively, but we should never single out a certain race/religion
@8VS7H7G4yrs4Y
Don’t know how they screen them
@8VRHJMW4yrs4Y
This isba racsit question
@8TWXBFC4yrs4Y
Banning is unconstitutional. We have the means to track all Canadians, immigrants or not for criminal activity, hire and use the technology we have to weed out criminals as much as possible.
@8PJMGYM4yrs4Y
No, but secure more from higher risk countries
@97T4JZCConservative2yrs2Y
No, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional and we should ban immigrants from “high risk” countries
@8MS74JB4yrs4Y
No, banning someone based on their ethnicity or religious beliefs is not legitimate enough reason, but I think countries that are at high risk should be put through a much thorough screening process. As well, the government needs to be working on strengthening the screening process in general.
@96QPGWR2yrs2Y
No, but there should be a stricter process for all people of areas deemed “high risk”
@8YWGXN53yrs3Y
Screening all Immigration for potential Ties to terror activities
