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.

DO background checks look in depth into there family and see if they are involved with terrist actions

If the immigrant from a country on a travel ban list is barred from entering, we may or not know if that person is really sympathetic of that country's leadership. We should interview the person to see if that is true or not
@B2KXFY85 days5D
Yes, if their beliefs and values do not match our values in Canada they should be banned from here aka India and any Muslim country at the moment.
@B2KS8R96 days6D
You can't judge people on where they come from because they are here to fulfil their dreams and work hard, better to go with harder screening but not banning also government should not decline them for dumb reasons.

Terrorism is not my concern- it is the government allowing those from foreign nations to come to Canada and provide them with exponentially more resources, opportunities, and support in comparison to Canadian born citizens. There are COUNTLESS issues and concerns when it comes to immigration policies, and as much as Canada as thrived upon being a melting pot of nationalities and cultures - the current state - or lack thereof - is significantly contributing to the decline of our economy and opportunities for Canadian born citizens. AMONG COUNTLESS OTHER ISSUES
@B2F9RNN2wks2W
Immigrants from politically exposed countries should only be asylum seekers and be put through rigorous immigration review.
@B2DQ5HF2wks2W
No, we are a country to help people. Understand that while we are helping refugees, it is important to keep an eye out and offer reform or a better quality of life to people of different cultures. Maybe show them how to play roulette instead of blackjack, the odds are better.
