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.

Yes! We don't want no more Osama bin laden's in here
@8SHGMQL4yrs4Y
No, but have a background check on anyone immigrating to Canada, not focusing on a race or religion, but the person themselves.
@8SDCDGV4yrs4Y
No, you can’t keep people out, and you can never actually know who’s a terrorist and who’s not
@8RXX8VD4yrs4Y
All immigrants should have the same requirements applied to them as potential f/a applicants
@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.
@8QW4LNPNew Democratic4yrs4Y
If the person has finished a screening if they came from a high risk country. If they have then there is no reason they can’t come in
@8K222LS4yrs4Y
we should increase our ability to screen potential terrorists not banning a religious group
@9CFBDJ42yrs2Y
Only if they bother other muslims
@98YRBP72yrs2Y
Do extensive background checks on ALL immigrants - this way we aren’t singling out “suspicious” people and it comes from a place of wanting to keep Canada safe.
@8VJSM9Z4yrs4Y
no, they should be allowed to come into our country if they have something to offer. if we wanted to enter their country, we would have to abide by all their laws and rules. they walk into canada like its a carnival. they dont bring anything to our society but being another expense for tax payers.
@8VFLPW44yrs4Y
No, but screening should be much more strict than it is to be sure whomever wishes to enter Canada shares our values and has something to add to our economy.
@9CLG2962yrs2Y
The fact that this is even a question?? "Some people" think the word Muslim and terrorists can be used interchangeably and that is absurd. A terrorist is NOT a religion, like how our society unfortunately views it.
@993KN6Q2yrs2Y
All immigrants not just from Muslim countries need to be properly vetted and screened, no exceptions.
Mass immigration needs to cease all together as Canada’s infrastructure can not handle the pressure and Canadians most in need are being left behind.
