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.

Yes. But not based on ability to screen for terrorism, it should be based on screening for any history of violent or sexual crimes
@9N6X3747mos7MO
No, living in a high risk country is a reason to immigrate. Our government needs to improve it's ability to screen and implement deportation measures to anyone with a high profile.
@B228G2F4wks4W
Immigrants should be banned from all countries regardless of whether they’re from Ukraine, Iraq, Somalia, Syria, Israel, etc unless they have been fully screened and cleared
@9ZWFCTX 1mo1MO
There should be more and improved places or centres to screen and vet people. But banning people solely because they are immigrants feels discriminatory
@9ZVZ6FV1mo1MO
No , banning is too far and extreme and not right. had the wrong idea to presume that every immigrant walking in asa terrorist it’s frankly racist but there should be steps to vet and document immigrants to not disregard the fact that it is important to know.
@9ZVTXGT1mo1MO
I don't like how Irish people see refugees and immigrants as a risk to our society and decide to call them terrorists when they're just looking for a better standard of living
@9NXPTSZ7mos7MO
This is a tricky question as on the one hand yes terrorists must be screened but you can’t abandon those who need the help
@9ZTP7261mo1MO
As an Irish person if you want to move to Canada, Australia, America and so on you receive background checks, where possible I do believe the government should be doing more.
