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.

The government should screen all immigrants the same.
@8VNNV57New Democratic4yrs4Y
Be allowed in the country. But be screened and not be able to vote. ( but technically everyone should be screened.. anyone can be a terrorist!)
@8VLTDY74yrs4Y
no but there should be a screening process with more depth to countries who have subatantial terrorists cells
@8VHV7XS4yrs4Y
Until we fix our own internal situations we should not allowe refugees from other countries
@8TVPY844yrs4Y
I think all immigrants should be banned from entering this country until the government improves its ability to screen out potential problems
@8TLYCZP4yrs4Y
No, but a more in-depth background check may be required for people in high-risk areas
@8TF3JTT4yrs4Y
No. Banning based on religion is a terrible reason but do Inforce the strict screening protocols.
@8T7LX3C4yrs4Y
I think banning them is a little to intense but make sure that they are terrorists
@8P3RN2B4yrs4Y
No not everyone is a terrorist. But I feel like the screening process should be gravely improved and with a plan to relocate back to their homes in the long run if safely permitted.
@8G9QW8L5yrs5Y
@95GB29P3yrs3Y
No, but keep an eye out for them intill improvement of govenment screen and remove them if they are terrorist
@95G9GCNNew Democratic3yrs3Y
No, but they should search their belongings, and bodies done by someone of the same gender.
@8SDSV3C4yrs4Y
Muslim immigrants should be allowed to immigrate as long as they are not confirmed to be working with a terrorist organization after screening. Immigrants are just normal innocent people.
@8FT5K4Y5yrs5Y
it should only ban specific people who have been proven as terrorists

No, as long as they pass in every other screening test i.e. Background tests, ancestry, X-ray, etc.
