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.

@8TY2YD24yrs4Y
I think banning immigration based on their religion is unconstitutional and should be addressed. While improving the screening process
@8S6BSZY4yrs4Y
I don't think this question should focus on muslims only. the government should properly screen out any terrorists regardless of race or religion
@8H9QYNV5yrs5Y
Everyone should be screened the same
@8VYFWHH4yrs4Y
i dont think it should only be muslim that would be raist
@8V3LJDS4yrs4Y
Yes, We need to focus on our own country and the people that live in it. Adding more people from other countries just makes us tax payers have to pay more taxes.
@8GXZ5SM5yrs5Y
There should be a higher screening process initially
@9BBJRD82yrs2Y
There should simply be intense background checks for any immigrants.
@8VVB8DW4yrs4Y
If they can do a back flip
