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.

I do not think it is right to stop people who need general safety to having help. Although there should be strict deep background checks and possible watches and reviews once here to make sure they abiding by the laws we implement
@9MKHCQ45mos5MO
The government should be able to run background check on people from high risk countries to screen out terrorists but none of them should be banned.
@9T943GN1mo1MO
Do background screenings but I don't see the need to blacklist a whole country if there are people who can contribute from there
@9RF7YLT3mos3MO
There should be a public policy that helps these immigrants while supporting the restablishing of living conditions in their country.
@9QVJ4JV3mos3MO
No, but we must strengthen our boarder security as a whole, and improve our ability to process immigrants and complete background checks to detect any threat.
@9QPYNDF3mos3MO
There should be programmes set up to allow the entry but reduce freedom of movement until screening is complete.
@9QPY8B63mos3MO
No but thorough background checks should be conducted and the individual regularly monitored for a duration period upon entering country
@9QPPQR23mos3MO
Innocent people who need shelter need help. But screening needs to be improved to dissuade those with other means.
