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.

Regardless of race colour or religion, immigrants should be screened for potential links to crime, terrorism, hate.
@943PG5Y3yrs3Y
No, but but the immigrant screening process should involve a very in depth "morality quiz/interview" related to human rights. For example, if your religion considers women unequal to men and you agree, you will not pass the test.
@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
@8VS7H7G4yrs4Y
Don’t know how they screen them
@8VQWQ524yrs4Y
Not just Muslim immigrants. Everyone should be screened equally
@8VMFPYMNew Democratic4yrs4Y
No but do extensive background checks especially from "high risk"countries
@8VGRHV94yrs4Y
Canadians struggle as it is for jobs and housing. I disagree anyone coming from foreign countries
@8V94CH44yrs4Y
Non, il devrait simplement il y avoir un meilleur processus de filtrage
@8TJVTTT4yrs4Y
No, but screening needs to be improved regardless
Yes however depends on where they came from.
@8SHGMQL4yrs4Y
No, but have a background check on anyone immigrating to Canada, not focusing on a race or religion, but the person themselves.
@8S2YW344yrs4Y
No, this isn't fair, if we do this then we can't limit screening to one religion we must do it for everyone.
@8R3H4M64yrs4Y
We should let them in unless there is reasonable suspicion or reason to think they are one.
@8QKHSWD4yrs4Y
there are terrorists all over the world, not only Muslims.
@8QFVJYV4yrs4Y
@8PN8ZDVNew Democratic4yrs4Y
This question almost sounds kinda discriminatory, people should be screen regardless of race.
@8PKB57X4yrs4Y
No, but perform background checks and continuous check ins
@8NWLD2Z4yrs4Y
We should keep in mind criminal potential within all immigration, not just on Arabic nations. However, we should keep discrimination at a low and allow immigration while still doing background checks
@8NWF2PQ4yrs4Y
More screening should be done
@8NJXXX54yrs4Y
no, but they should be checked in on until the screening
@adfafjNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Case by case basis with background checks
@966GT243yrs3Y
Ban immigrants from high risk countries, unless they have no bad background.
@8VSFNGR4yrs4Y
No, but we should be particularly cautious of "high risk" countries and perhaps enact additional screening measures
@8GXZ5SM5yrs5Y
There should be a higher screening process initially
@9B6L7DJ2yrs2Y
No, but we should check people more thoroughly
@96RTC6J2yrs2Y
No, but the government should make a greater effort to integrate them into society
