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, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional, and even considering banning someone for who they are is racist.
Increase screening regulations for all immigrants but not to an extent that it becomes difficult for immigrants to enter the country at all
@9G2K45S2yrs2Y
No, but we should ban immigrants from “high risk” countries and Yes, and ban all immigration until the government improves its screening process.
@9F884822yrs2Y
@9FFGMPG2yrs2Y
if they have a high risk of comitting terroism
@9CMKSDZ2yrs2Y
Most terriost attacks are because of oppression, I dont believe that a whole comunity should be turned away due to countries reputations or groups. Canada should increase screening to protect all citizens.
@96LQ8XW3yrs3Y
Immigration should be more difficult for all
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
@8WBDHGQ4yrs4Y
only if they are found with any potential dangerously items
@8VR67VD4yrs4Y
it shouldn't just be Muslims but yes
@8VFPMFX4yrs4Y
No, banning immigrate based on religion is unconstitutional, but the government needs to seriously reduce our screening process to help limit the actions of terrorists
@8VDQNYX4yrs4Y
No, the government can't Marginalize Muslims into the category of Terrorists, this question would Be offensive to any Muslim person, shouldn't even Be on the Survay
banning people is wrong but there needs to be a thorough screening process
No but we need a near flawless screening in place.
No, but screening processes need to be much greater.
@8RR8R4K4yrs4Y
No, but still need to have best possible screening no matter what race, colour, or religion.
@shaelynj4yrs4Y
No, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional and we should have better screening processes
No they should not be banned, but the government should just be careful
How can you possibly justify that all muslim immigrants are terrorists? Do the due diligence.
@8PRN58W4yrs4Y
There are multiple branches of Muslims, coming from multiple different countries. Not all Muslims are terrorists and should be allowed into the country. Yes there should be background checks, but they should be necessary for everyone to ensure security, not because of religion.
No, because anyone can be a terrorist, not just muslim people.
@8PFF54T4yrs4Y
Yes but but only if necessary
Let them in as long as the current screening process determines they are not a threat
@Jatzuyu4yrs4Y
No, being muslin does not mean your a terrorist, yes some are influenced by their beliefs but only a small number.
All immigrants entering the country should be screened, regardless of race or religion.
No but I believe we need to screen anyone entering our country to live here permanently, regardless of race or ethnicity
@9CRSL3S2yrs2Y
We shouldn’t ban them from coming over but we definitely need to improve screening
This question enters the facts that we know for certain who a terrorist is...when in fact anyone can be one and it's not from one race or religion.
No - but have a better screening process for anybody of any race and religion who wishes who live
Not banning but screening for everyone, not just muslims.
@8ZWP7HN3yrs3Y
I believe Muslims should not be generalised as terrosits because of there attire. Proud boys are a terrosts group, aloth the fact they are white
@8ZG86HGNew Democratic3yrs3Y
No, but increase background check for all immigrants
