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. Screen them heavily to be sure they aren't a threat.
@9KFT4PS2mos2MO
Not banned. Maybe more like a detainee. Then screen them.
@9K6M4542mos2MO
If none come in deadly it is all good then, it depends on where they're going as well.
@9K6HR9K2mos2MO
No, we are too isolated to care, and we should get land from the states if it collapses.
@9K3DVX42mos2MO
Depending on the situation, the immigrants from high risk countries shouldn't be banned from entering the country, however should be interrogated a few weeks before entering.
@9JXW8SV2mos2MO
instead of being banned, i think we should run intense background checks of the individuals who are entering the country.
