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.

@8HW9QQM5yrs5Y
There should definitely be more screaming and less people entering our country
@93TNZM93yrs3Y
Depends, they have to come legally and we must set a limit on how many immigrants we accept as a whole Muslim, Ukrainian, Asian, exc
@8J4HP425yrs5Y
no our population has growen enough from them immigrants , we should have jobs for us that work hard not fro the ones who are pitied
@8FMV7LVConservative5yrs5Y
We do need to be careful of who we let in, but we cannot discriminate the whole religion because of a few people
@9FVZJ8GConservative 2yrs2Y
Ban immigrants who have history in participating in terrorist attacks, strict background checks and check fro fake ID
@9FMTV6QConservative2yrs2Y
It should not be banned from high risk countries, but it should screen out potential terrorists from those high risk countries.
@9FLN9N2Conservative2yrs2Y
Anybody could be a terrorist. Proper vet checks shoyld be done
@9FKGNBJConservative2yrs2Y
This question is not relevant and was never relevant because muslims are not terrorists. This question should be removed as soon as possible.
@8TY7ML2Conservative4yrs4Y
Being Muslim should not be a deciding factor. The proper screening should apply equally to all people looking to immigrate to Canada
@959HJZ63yrs3Y
No, but all immigrants should have a clean criminal record.
@93WDQYXConservative3yrs3Y
no unless they have a criminal background
@93D2H8KConservative3yrs3Y
No but you should improve security for ALL immigrants from "High Risk" countries not just muslim
@92XLW6X3yrs3Y
Ban all muslims from entering the countryside outright and permanently
@92VVV9MConservative3yrs3Y
Don't Ban, but let them come in at a slower pace.
@92M4953Conservative3yrs3Y
no, but i think all immigration should be banned regardless pf their religious beliefs until Canada is in a better financial situation regarding our national debt
@8ZM99PRConservative3yrs3Y
It's debatable/questionable
@8ZHD9843yrs3Y
No, but do heavy background checks on them.
@8YW224FConservative3yrs3Y
No, but do screening incase they are a terrorist
@8XNXJXMConservative3yrs3Y
i don't think they should be ban from coming in i just think we should look deeper into there history in there own country before we let them in
@8WPDH43Conservative3yrs3Y
not limited to Muslim all dangerous people shouldn't immigrate here
@8WJG9ND4yrs4Y
they cant come in if they are suspected to be a terrorists
@8VVHXMCConservative4yrs4Y
The screening process should be more stringent for ALL immigrants.
@8VV622DConservative4yrs4Y
Perform personality tests, have regular check ups and monitor them for first 5 years of residence
@8VV2M9GConservative4yrs4Y
No Screen all immigrants
@8VSDBF3Conservative4yrs4Y
No banning just make screening process better
@8VRZQQKConservative4yrs4Y
No, but we should screen more in depth people from high risk countries
@8VRKLXL4yrs4Y
Stricter screening and limiting numbers of immigrants
@8VQDNBNConservative4yrs4Y
No, but increase screening process before allowing them in
@8VPTMZWConservative4yrs4Y
Yes but only if their background is suspicious
@8VMCZJJ4yrs4Y
I don't think we should ban them but I do believe that stronger screening for anybody entering the Country is something we need to consider.
@8VM72DHConservative4yrs4Y
Extensive background checks, but keep them safe in the country while they're being checked, ubder a watchful eye.
@8VLD6CSConservative4yrs4Y
They should make sure people that come from country’s who have a bad rap go through the proper citizenship to make sure they arnt associated with dangerous groups. It’s not based on religion.
@8VJD47Z4yrs4Y
Yes, all immigrants should have properly screening before they are allowed to come to Canada
@8VJ4TBZ4yrs4Y
I believe they should be allowed to come here if screening deems them safe however giving them money and homes should not be a part of the deal. We should be helping our own first as we have high homeless numbers and our seniors and veterans are being ignored in my opinion.
@8VH2TZWConservative4yrs4Y
No, but our immigration policies should be more rigid and less approved applications
@8VGZ9YFConservative4yrs4Y
Yes, but only from hotspot countries known for high levels of terrorist activity
@8VCYD3JConservative4yrs4Y
No, but each individual should be properly screened.
@8VC55DKConservative4yrs4Y
Improved screen across board no matter country or religion
@8VBB6GCConservative4yrs4Y
Fix your home before you let more in
@8V5S9DB4yrs4Y
I think allow them to enter as long as they have passed all the proper security checks.
@8V4YWPM4yrs4Y
I think we should implement something that would encourage them wanting to become a Canadian citizen and go through the proper process in doing so not just solely be a place of refugee but to be a part of Canada
@8V3VB45Conservative4yrs4Y
the Immigrants are leaving in such mass that after the wars are over there will be a lack of skilled and educated workers. So we should have less immigration from the middle east
@8TXRDQWConservative4yrs4Y
I think anyone coming from any country should ensure they have gone through a strict and professional screening for any potential dangers.
@8TVC8WFConservative4yrs4Y
No, but we should screen all immigrants for incompatible moral values
@8TLFWFSConservative4yrs4Y
they should be banned from becoming a canadian citizen
@8TJJNGRConservative4yrs4Y
Just be careful who you are letting walk into the country.
@8TJJD2H4yrs4Y
Have a fixed quota for immigrants and don't have subcategories (further reservations) for religions
@8THTW67Conservative4yrs4Y
This is extremely crazy question to ask and very steryeotypical
On top of better screening the best of the best should stay in their country so their country can become like ours. It's that reason why their economy is trash.
@8T7XYCQConservative4yrs4Y
Only allow people that are looking for work and not goverment support
@8T4Q5BJConservative4yrs4Y
No, but have a background check from high risk countries
@8T4HTSKConservative4yrs4Y
allow fewer to enter the country but do not ban entry
@8SWZ782Conservative4yrs4Y
depending on where they are coming from, but no matter what all immigrants should go through screening
@8SLN66ZConservative4yrs4Y
no but we shouldnt let them in unless they have background checks on them
@8SHHXDTConservative4yrs4Y
Everybody should be screened, no matter what country they are from or what they're religion is.
@8SG67Z4Conservative4yrs4Y
No, but more checking and testing is needed
@8SD9S3VConservative4yrs4Y
No but restrict entry to the country until screening gets better for all countries
@8S7C3N6Conservative4yrs4Y
No, but they need follow proper immigration pathways and be reviewed once in Canada to ensure they are a productive and contributing citizen.
@8RZMHMP4yrs4Y
Ban all immigrants and improve birth rate.
@8RXQF8XConservative4yrs4Y
We should have more restrictions for "high risk" countries
@8RVZKT3Conservative4yrs4Y
As long as they meet the legal requirements there should be able to enter
@8RVTHLWConservative4yrs4Y
I do not believe they need to be banned from coming into our country, they should have their rights just like everyone else. At the same time I believe if there were a chance to do background checks or see if there were any past problems then maybe something could happen.
@8RTPYK34yrs4Y
No, but strict checks should be in place
@8RSJ9WYConservative4yrs4Y
only allow ones without criminal records.
@8RPYCML4yrs4Y
We should ban illegal immigration and run background checks on legal immigrants.
@8RL47CS4yrs4Y
All people should be cleared and vetted before being admitted to Canada.
@8RJB7QRConservative4yrs4Y
no, this is called a a breach of the charter of rights and a criminal offence i should sue you for asking this
@8R8B6GNConservative4yrs4Y
Immigration is a critical function to economic development however, better security screening would reduce the risk of inadvertently allowing unknown threats into the country.
@8R7LB7Y4yrs4Y
I don’t think they should be banned but I think the immigration process should be harder to decrease the chance of terrorists entering the country
@8QWVKT2Conservative4yrs4Y
no but we should have a better background check on immigrants and if they don't meet the stronger requirements they should not be allowed in our country.
@8QWVKRHConservative4yrs4Y
Be sure to know who is coming into the country and make sure they have no connections to any terrorist organizations.
@8PLRHW8Conservative4yrs4Y
Regardless of religion screening for criminal activities needs to be a requirement
@8PKX2Y34yrs4Y
no but the procces should be strickend
@8PJTXB7Conservative4yrs4Y
No, but have background and safety checks on the immigrants
@8PJSRNZConservative4yrs4Y
No, but the government should do more to make sure they are not connected to a terrorist groups.
@8PHYR94Conservative4yrs4Y
We shouldn't ban by specific religions. We should decrease immigration in all places, at least until we have a better ability to screen out terrorists
@8PHSLG6Conservative4yrs4Y
Not ban but reduce until terrorist attacks or attempts decrease
@8NW2NF54yrs4Y
ALL immigrants should be highly scrutinized for the purpose of reliability in ACCEPTING Canadian Values, and our LAWS. Just as I had to.
@8NW2GMYConservative4yrs4Y
No, there should be a longer processing time before you enter the county
@8NLX7QT4yrs4Y
No, but the government should have the right to turn people down if they see a threat
@8KTXMXWConservative4yrs4Y
let them come to canada but do security checks
@8KM3KK6Conservative4yrs4Y
they shouldn't be banned but under severe watch until all background checks come back clean.
@8KJ2KHPConservative4yrs4Y
Protect those at risk in Muslim countries
@8K222LS4yrs4Y
we should increase our ability to screen potential terrorists not banning a religious group
@8JQHXL9Conservative4yrs4Y
no they should not be banned but should be screened for past criminal activity ot terrorism
@8JKWJP4Conservative4yrs4Y
There should be a intense screening process

no our population has growen enough from them rag heads, we should have jobs for us that work hard not fro the ones who are pitied
@8HQ42Q45yrs5Y
Every single person who comes in should be checked..
@8GBDQ68Conservative5yrs5Y
Do a screening before they entire the country and don't ban anyone unless they've committed a crime
@8DQ2S2LConservative5yrs5Y
No person should be "banned" from entering the country, but those who the federal agents deem "unsafe" should be monitored.
@8DJSLQ2Conservative5yrs5Y
No, they shouldn't be banned from entering the country. They would have to go through background checks though, to ensure that they have a clean background.
@8DC94RDConservative5yrs5Y
All immigrants should be screened even more thoroughly regardless of race/country of origin
@8D6XDW5Conservative5yrs5Y
No I think they should screen everyone majorly
@8D484LRConservative5yrs5Y
no immigrants should be allowed to enter till we figure out our economy and other issues first.
@8CTZXV9Conservative5yrs5Y
i think no but i feel like we should be able o detect whether they are terrorists or not
@9CDZX2ZConservative2yrs2Y
no because its wrong and discriminatory, if we are to screen people before coming to canada, its either you screen no one or screen anyone regardless of faith or background
@9CBKSKL2yrs2Y
Only if we have a reson to belive thay are a threat
@9C67CW5Conservative2yrs2Y
