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 they should not be banned, but there needs to be increased background checks and regulations to keep everyone safe
@9K8V4MK2mos2MO
Yes. But not based on ability to screen for terrorism, it should be based on screening for any history of violent or sexual crimes
@9JR7YW33mos3MO
I think it depends on the situation. If the people in the said high risk country need to leave for their safety they should be allowed to enter, and the goverment should use every tool possible to screen out potential terrorists.
@9J6SMBC3mos3MO
Well some people don’t have documents and it’s unfair to do this , although I do believe maybe the mass amount coming in is ridiculous as it is bound to create wider boarders
@9HBQGJ65mos5MO
if people are at risk they should be given asylum but, it is a delicate subject
@9H9NZH35mos5MO
No, however screening should be done prior to their arrival.
