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.

@9MR9VHJ9mos9MO
no, but measures should be taken screen out potential terrorists.
@B3288T24 days4D
I don't think we should necessarily ban all immigrants from hight risk countries, but rather have lots of security checks
@B2ZJH9G5 days5D
no because it would be wrong to assume they are all terrorists simply just heavily watch over the immigrant for the first few months of immigration
@B2Z3P2C6 days6D
I don’t think banning and exclusion are good solutions. There are families that would be disconnected. Not all people are bad people.
@B2XJ5FG1wk1W
they should never be allowed he at all if they are they are watched over by security for at least 5 years minimum to ensure the saftey of the country
@B2X8V2K1wk1W
No, It should be regulated, and monitored but if it's an issue of safety then there should be a few exceptions.
@B2X863R1wk1W
No, but only fully vetted applicants should be admitted. Sometimes, families are running for their lives, we need to help when we can.
@B2WYH381wk1W
depends you can still help immigrants out but box them out before they enter Canada to make sure they are not affiliated with terrorists or have connections with them or cause a threat
