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 we should increase screening from higher risked countries
@8TJQYBB4yrs4Y
Allow immigration only for females

Absolutely not. While I see the concern with terrorists it is completely racist to reject a person from our country who is simply looking for a better life.

Case by case basis with background checks
@8KJM4TX4yrs4Y
No, but everyone should be going through the same, intense, screening process.

Everyone should be screened the same
No, as long as they're already screening them prior to entry into the country
@8DM8TJ55yrs5Y
Make them take the lie test to see if they are threats to national security
@9CM3CQC2yrs2Y
The country to which they immigrate to should have to provide their own screening
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
No, but immigrants from "high risk" countries should have thorough background checks completed before entering our country.
@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
