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, terrorism is going to happen but we could create better security within the country when it happens

immigrants from high risk countries should not be banned but should be heavily screened
@8CVVFY45yrs5Y
Yes, if they are clean (without criminal records. Or if they aren’t sus)
@8CLB3DP5yrs5Y
We should not ban them from entering the country, but we should reduce the number we take in until we can confidently screen for potential terrorists.
@97YPT6Y2yrs2Y
What does being Muslim have to do with terrorists? Corporate terrorists are faaar more dangerous
@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.
@95JN5R83yrs3Y
I think it depend on people because if their country is bad doesn't mean that their people is bad too, so I think it will be depend on the person you met is good or bad
