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.

We should not completely ban or do national bans for immigration, instead we should create a monitored waiting period before they can get a final application.

Muslims who are not liberal*, secular, heterosexual or asexual, centrist or rightist, religiously tolerant, and monogamist should not be allowed to enter the U.S.
* liberal (liberal Muslims as in Muslims who are more open minded about their sons & daughters marrying non-Muslims (e.g. Christians) or even converting to Christianity upon their marriage to their non-Muslim spouse (e.g. the first lady of Argentina who converted to Roman Catholicism from Islam, where she stated in an interview with La Nación newspaper in 2012, that her father is a liberal Muslim who did not object to one of Juliana's sisters marrying a Christian and the other a Jew), secular, pro-gender equality, pro-democracy, pro-Israel, pro-west/westernized and religiously tolerant

Immigrants should not be "banned", but a thorough search should be done.
@8CQ7HBG5yrs5Y
We should do extensive checks to make sure immigrants are loyal to the U.S and not to terrorist groups
@8ZGYJSG3yrs3Y
yes because we would be weeding out terrorist and no because it would be considered a race crime.
@8P4J7994yrs4Y

It's wrong to ban immigrants based on their religion, but immigrants from "high risk" countries should be banned.
