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 but do extensive background checks especially from "high risk"countries
@8TLYCZP4yrs4Y
No, but a more in-depth background check may be required for people in high-risk areas
Yes however depends on where they came from.
@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.
@8RN2SHT4yrs4Y
They should up the screening on people from high risk countries but if they pass they can come in
@8QFVJYV4yrs4Y
@8PJ7SQN4yrs4Y
Absolutely not. While I see the concern with terrorists it is completely racist to reject a person from our country who is simply looking for a better life.
@8NJXXX54yrs4Y
no, but they should be checked in on until the screening
@adfafjNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Case by case basis with background checks
@8KJM4TX4yrs4Y
No, but everyone should be going through the same, intense, screening process.
@8H9QYNV5yrs5Y
Everyone should be screened the same
@8CR39W65yrs5Y
just make sure that they arent terrorists dont ban them until they imporove it tho because canada is rly safe
@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.
@8ZG86HGNew Democratic3yrs3Y
No, but increase background check for all immigrants
