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
@9N6X3746mos6MO
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.
@9NXPTSZ6mos6MO
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
@9ZWKH9L3 days3D
They should work towards improving there strategies to screen terrorists and economic migrants without banning vulnerable genuine refugees
@9ZWG78V4 days4D
No, immigrants should be held somewhere safe until they are screened and then either allowed stay or sent back to their home country.
@9ZWFMTL 4 days4D
Implement more screening centres and places for immigrants to be vetted. Genuine refugees shouldn’t be denied asylum
@9ZWFCTX 4 days4D
There should be more and improved places or centres to screen and vet people. But banning people solely because they are immigrants feels discriminatory
@9ZWFB364 days4D
Only as far as criminal records are concerned. And some sort of check to any articles, or social media presence of theirs since a lot of high risk countries lie about their terrorists so may not have a reliable record on them
