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.

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

It should not be banned from high risk countries, but it should screen out potential terrorists from those high risk countries.

Anybody could be a terrorist. Proper vet checks shoyld be done

This question is not relevant and was never relevant because muslims are not terrorists. This question should be removed as soon as possible.

Being Muslim should not be a deciding factor. The proper screening should apply equally to all people looking to immigrate to Canada

@93J4DD43yrs3Y

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

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.
@8RSJ9WYConservative4yrs4Y
only allow ones without criminal records.
@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.
@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.

Regardless of religion screening for criminal activities needs to be a requirement

No, but the government should do more to make sure they are not connected to a terrorist groups.

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.

@8ZSKGSHConservative3yrs3Y
No, Muslims have nothing to do with terrorism, that is blatant racism.
