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.

Every person immigrating to Canada should undergo the same screening process
@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
@8XX4R87New Democratic3yrs3Y
A. this question is self is so stupid yall should shut yourselfs down for it.
@8V7SSGX4yrs4Y
No, but there should be consistent screening done on them before and after entering Canada
@8SC7CH6New Democratic4yrs4Y
why just muslims? any race could potentially be a terrorist.
@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.
@8PKB57X4yrs4Y
No, but perform background checks and continuous check ins
@adfafjNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Case by case basis with background checks
@8H9QYNV5yrs5Y
Everyone should be screened the same
@99LRPKF2yrs2Y
No, but not allow rampant entry either. As long as immigration does not endanger the populace
@966GT243yrs3Y
Ban immigrants from high risk countries, unless they have no bad background.
@9B64LRJ2yrs2Y
Like how our justice system is based on innocence until proven guilty; as long as an immigrant is deemed safe, they should be allowed to enter the country no matter from where.
Banning Muslims altogether is unconstitutional. However a criminal record check may be a good idea. But may it be a FAIR criminal record check.
@8S2LJ243yrs3Y
No, banning anyone based on who they are, what they believe in, and what they have done in the past is against the teachings of Jesus Christ
@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
