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.

This is a derogatory question which synonymies terrorism with Muslims. Disgusting. Terrorists are not from one religion or faith, every faith has terrorist.
@9FLGT5N2yrs2Y
We should banned muslems forever
@9FKGNBJConservative2yrs2Y
This question is not relevant and was never relevant because muslims are not terrorists. This question should be removed as soon as possible.
@93S6FYZ3yrs3Y
All immigrants should be banned from entering until the government does a backgroud check
@8ZSTHJJ3yrs3Y
some people might be innocent but then the country that their immigrating to might make them a terrorist
@8VQY2X84yrs4Y
No, but we should give them a warning before they enter the country
@8VMP8W74yrs4Y
No, but screening should be improved transparently with a timeline
@8VJP9V74yrs4Y
This is such a racist question!!!
@8VG9MVN4yrs4Y
Increase airport security for immigrants from high risk countries but do not prohibit entry
@8VDNPTQ4yrs4Y
Extensive background checks and monitoring of any potential citizens that come from high risk areas regardless of race/religion/creed, including from Northern Ireland to USA, China to South America. We have no room for hate, no matter where it comes from
@8THNVF74yrs4Y
Don’t let them in at all. They should stay in there own country and make it better
I think they should go through an a screening process but should not be banned
@8SG67Z4Conservative4yrs4Y
No, but more checking and testing is needed
@8R3WYS84yrs4Y
No because everyone should have a right to live in Canada unless you have committed a serious crime
@8QKHSWD4yrs4Y
there are terrorists all over the world, not only Muslims.
@8P3HL3F4yrs4Y
No but screen them to make to surr they're not terrorists.
@8M7TKLB4yrs4Y
Is the screening process really that bad? If it is bad - ban based on context If it is sufficient - allow based on context
@96N4MQPConservative2yrs2Y
Disregard religion any one coming from any high risk country or looks suspicious
