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. muslims are not terrorists, and they never will be. some terrorists may claim to be 'muslims', but terrorism and killing is forbidden in islam. therefore, muslim immigrants shouldn't be banned from entering the country. this question is very irrelevant and only fuels the stereotypes against muslims, remove it.
@95GYDX23yrs3Y
exactly. this is associating muslims with being terrorists and many people are agreeing with the fact muslims should be banned from entering canada. im very ashamed of educational systems here in canada
@8FMV7LVConservative5yrs5Y
We do need to be careful of who we let in, but we cannot discriminate the whole religion because of a few people
@9FQ5KS82yrs2Y
Checks on everybody who wants to immigrate to Canada
@9FMNJ5M2yrs2Y
If they come to the country eligaliy then yes they should.
@9CMKSDZ2yrs2Y
Most terriost attacks are because of oppression, I dont believe that a whole comunity should be turned away due to countries reputations or groups. Canada should increase screening to protect all citizens.
@92BYQ5F3yrs3Y
All immigrants should have strict screening process before being allowed into country
@8WX95P73yrs3Y
yes, but first there should be a background/criminal check before they are aloud to enter

No, immigrants should not be banned from entering the country but each one should be addressed on a case by case basis.
@8LR333N4yrs4Y
No, They need a lot of screening if they come from high-risk countries. They also have to be beneficial to society and well integrating into Canadian society.

Muslim immigrants should not be banned from entering the country, but the government should focus on improving its ability to identify potential terrorists.
@999LC522yrs2Y
there should be screening for all races and everyone coming into the country, not just muslims in specific.
the government should improve its ability to screen out potential terrorists no matter religion

improve the ability to screen for everyone not just muslims.
@8YZ6YTS3yrs3Y
No, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional. Although, a more strict screening process is necessary.
