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.

They should let them in but check there criminal records
@973TLQJ2yrs2Y
@93TM7X63yrs3Y
No, we should not. Only ban people who are members of Islamic terrorist groups.
@8Y7P2SZ3yrs3Y
All immigration should go through a very strict screening process, and only temperary status should be given, i.e., a temporary landed immigrant statue card for a period of 5 years and then reevaluated at the end of five years - then the process of perminate citizenship could take place.
@8WP8GZY3yrs3Y
montering who comes in or out should be the main objective
@8VTWLMT4yrs4Y
no one should be banned based on their religious views , however there should be stronger screening process put in place instead
@8VTV54D4yrs4Y
no this seems kinda racist
@8VSQRGK4yrs4Y
Should be screening and to allow more skilled immigrants to arrive
@8VS64J5New Democratic4yrs4Y
No, we should keep the racism aside until terrorist attacks are happening
@8VPRPFV4yrs4Y
that’s literally so stereotypical.
@8VP3CNB4yrs4Y
Vetted process and a FASTER process is needed
@8V3VB45Conservative4yrs4Y
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
let evreyone in at the moment but work on that law in the meantime
@8RWXFKW4yrs4Y
There shouldn't be a ban on anyone but the screening process should be improved.
@8RS2FXK4yrs4Y
No, Don't ban but beef up the vetting process
@8PDL5VQ4yrs4Y
Check to make sure that their of no danger to the country to let them enter.
@8NWMMMQ4yrs4Y
The government has thorough systems in place to identify persons involved in terrorist activities, to blanket ban an entire religious order based on the fear of terrorism is xenophobic and will only further cause a divide between the middle east and other muslim nations towards the "west"
Practice of Islamic faith is only one element to the broader spectrum of issues that produce Islamic terrorism.
@8CHP3YF5yrs5Y
If they are fleeing an inhumane Political Regime or Leader they should be allowed in, after they are over the border they should be subject to background checks and only after they enter.
@8TMM8NGNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Strict screening and criminal background checking
@9B7SW332yrs2Y
No however it is essential to ensure safety to current citizens
@9B556TC2yrs2Y
All depends on their reputation in the country they want to immigrate from
@937CKPB3yrs3Y
No but the immigrants entering canada should be looked into and asked about their intentions to make sure they are not coming to do harm.
No because terrorists try to show muslim people are terrorists and that's not true. so I say no.
@8YFHZQZConservative3yrs3Y
No, but increase screening for terrorist affiliation or possible affiliation
