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.

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.
@8R3WYS84yrs4Y
No because everyone should have a right to live in Canada unless you have committed a serious crime
@8PVZRFN4yrs4Y
Why is this even a question? Why does the quesiton link muslims to terrorists?
@8PVFBQB4yrs4Y
If they are going to do this to Muslims, they should do this to every immigrant that enters this country.
@8KJM4TX4yrs4Y
No, but everyone should be going through the same, intense, screening process.
@8RX8KJBNew Democratic4yrs4Y
In ways yes but at the same time I see this as discriminating on a race which is not good.
@9CM3CQC2yrs2Y
The country to which they immigrate to should have to provide their own screening
No, but improve the ability to screen out potential terrorists and keep a lookout for any sort of unwanted business.
@8ZG86HGNew Democratic3yrs3Y
No, but increase background check for all immigrants
@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
