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 all immigrants should have their vetting GREATLY increased.
@8Z3VCCP3yrs3Y
Yes, until we have the technology to screen them. But if they are in danger in their own country, just keep an eye on them
@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.
@8QBY2Q54yrs4Y
They should do a background check and that's all
@8PN8ZDVNew Democratic4yrs4Y
This question almost sounds kinda discriminatory, people should be screen regardless of race.
@8NW3NTM4yrs4Y
All immigrants should be more rigorously screened for capacity to integrate.
@8K222LS4yrs4Y
we should increase our ability to screen potential terrorists not banning a religious group
@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.
@995CDTW2yrs2Y
No, but if they are coming from high risk regions, they should’ve have a more rigorous screening
@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.
