No, but they should be kept somewhere safe like a migrant-specific shelter with all basic necessities provided until they’re thoroughly screened and cleared

 @9GQFBJM from Massachusetts answered…6mos6MO

No, but there should be a deeper vetting of visas and those entering from that country to prevent potential terrorists from entering the country

  @9GSFFG2 from Massachusetts answered…6mos6MO

No, but increase background checks for immigrants coming from countries with totalitarian governments or high crime rates.

 @9LNPQ7Y from Colorado answered…1wk1W

I'm both yes and no because for example in Mexico, cartels tend to kidnap children, take their organs out, fill them with illegal powders or substances, and take them to the U.S. in a van full of multiple children in that way.

 @9LM77TD from Illinois answered…1wk1W

If the immigrant trying to enter the country truly needs help i feel like they should be able to get in but if for like vacation i don't think so

 @9LLSLVNIndependent from Arkansas answered…1wk1W

It should be easier for immigrants who served as interpreters for our US Mililtary to come to the USA. We should also have resources to make it easier for immigrants to adjust to life in our country.

 @9LLPLST from New Jersey answered…2wks2W

Immigrants should have to be logged into the system ie Ellis Island kind of idea upon entering the country.

 @9LJY92KLibertarian from Pennsylvania answered…2wks2W

No, it is wrong to use fear to justify discrimination in humanitarian situations, if anything it brings the terrorists more sympathizers

 @9LJF3ZH from Oregon answered…2wks2W

No, they should just take their photo id and fingerprints to put it in the system to track them down

 @9LJCJP6Republican from Maryland answered…2wks2W

Yes, and deport immigrants who promote hatred for Jews, Israel, and the US and promote terrorism, and denationalize those who came under false pretenses

 @9LHZPDW from California answered…2wks2W

After a slight background check, and important factors such as having a family. They should be allowed to come to the US.

 @9LHGJD2 from Kansas answered…2wks2W

No, because if they cant cross to get away from a life they don't want we are stopping them from that freedom but there is some safety that could be added

 @9LGLSBX from Washington answered…2wks2W

No, they should just get a photo id and their background from them and then put it in the system to track them down

 @9LGC733Republican from Missouri answered…2wks2W

As long as they have extensive background checks to see their past and their history if clear come on in

 @9LGB96G from Minnesota answered…2wks2W

I think they should do the screening as the people enter the country, but only allow a certain amount of people to enter at a time.

 @9LG94HL from Michigan answered…2wks2W

This is a difficult question, we don't want to assume that the entire high risk country is filled with potential terrorists, but we can rightly assume that there are some...

 @9LG7G92 from Minnesota answered…3wks3W

I believe that people from high risk countries should be watched surveyed, not banned. if the country is one we're fighting we should let civilians come in, and if they may be potential terrorists than they should be surveyed.

 @9LD2CVJ from California answered…3wks3W

Yes, unless they are being targeted for helping the U.S. government and are in danger (eg. Afghan interpreters)

 @2H4XQ2KDemocrat from New York answered…3wks3W

No, what is a “high risk” country; there are more domestic terrorist in America than any international threat.

 @9LBW8KRWomen’s Equality from Missouri answered…3wks3W

yes because there is a pretty good chance of someone being a terrorists and we might not be able to tell if they are or are not.

 @9LBW8C9Republican from Missouri answered…3wks3W

no but when we find immigrents insted of just sending them back to where they came from we should give them the option to and from that we can do like a background check on them but also giving them a chance

  @JW-StamperConstitution  from Wisconsin answered…4wks4W

Yes, both those who have helped us in battle zones need to be brought to the USA and their families protected.

 @9L8V33G from California answered…4wks4W

Immigrants should have the right to enter the country no matter their background. To protect this country, the process of immigration should remain lengthy, but not too complicated.

 @9L7QVBC from Florida answered…4wks4W

no but the immigrants from high risk countries should be highly screened before being approved entry

 @9L7Q9V3 from North Carolina answered…4wks4W

Not banned, but they should be kept somewhere safe and humane with all basic necessities provided until their asylum claims are processed

 @9L7N2XG from New York answered…4wks4W

Yes this is protected by the U.S. Constitution in order to protect the safety of the American citizens.

 @9L74XYW from Indiana answered…1mo1MO

They maybe shouldn't be allowed in with the general public, but they should have a place to go where they don't have to worry about whatever it is they're fleeing from

 @9L74N5JRepublican from Indiana answered…1mo1MO

I don't think that immigrants should be allowed into a country unless they have the legal paper work and want to become citizens for the right reasons.

 @9L74FFC from North Carolina answered…1mo1MO

Not ban, but they should be kept somewhere safe and humane with all basic necessities provided until their asylum claims are processed

 @9L6M5TL from Oklahoma answered…1mo1MO

No the government should be trained better to detain terroristic individuals isn't that one of the main jobs of the government how about t you do the job our taxes pay you to do.

 @9L65DPX from Alabama answered…1mo1MO

Yes, but said immigrants should be able to stay in the country under holding or watch while the screening process continues.

 @9L5YHW4Republican from Michigan answered…1mo1MO

Yes, but programs should be put in place in order for them to have a path to permanent residency/citizenship.

 @9L5S2WXLibertarian from Pennsylvania answered…1mo1MO

No, but ALL immigrants should be screened at the current screening level until an improved method of screening can be phased in.

 @9L5M6LN from Texas answered…1mo1MO

we should provide assylum but that does not mean that they are free to roam in America beforethey are checked out.

 @9L567X7Democrat from Pennsylvania answered…1mo1MO

We should have a devision made to screen people coming in. Certain country’s should also be watched more than others

 @9L2XD8K from Illinois answered…1mo1MO

They must come in a limited number and shorter of them camper to western European countries and also harder to enter and remain comper to western european countries people

 @9L277WQRepublican from Georgia answered…1mo1MO

No, but make the immigration process for people from high risk countries much more thorough to eliminate risk of terrorism

 @9KYZTX5 from Iowa answered…1mo1MO

No, but immigrants from high risk countries should be highly screened for any type of terrorism or ideological threat.

 @9KYD43T from Texas answered…1mo1MO

I think that each individual from high risk countries should be checked from a thorough background check and to make sure that anything that they bring into the country is also checked

 @9KY9998 from California answered…1mo1MO

Only if they actually find something that could be proven as dangerous, not just because they are from that country.

 @9KKFW7FLibertarian from Massachusetts answered…2mos2MO

No, because banning people would doom those escaping persecution; however, we must do a better job of vetting of immigrants as they enter the country.

 @9KJW8YF from Oklahoma answered…2mos2MO

while immigration does come with risk, it is still an important part of American culture and must be handled with care.

 @9KJNQSP from Pennsylvania answered…2mos2MO

Yes and we should increase CIA and DoD budgets for foreign operations, surveillance and spy/terrorist tracking

 @9KF5NG6 from New York answered…2mos2MO

I believe that we should but we should have a better process of screening out terrorist. The question we should be asking s why we are not more efficient and why the lives of people trying to escape tragedy are being cut short because the government cant screen out terrorist effectively. We should have no excuse for it being flawed. Letting in refugees is not the only time we should be screening for terrorism so why is the system not up to par yet?

 @9H2SYCMProgressive from California answered…5mos5MO

Not banned, but its potentially permissible to mark individuals with passports from that country for screening before letting them enter the state.

 @9H2GC4S from Texas answered…5mos5MO

not completly banned but maybe put them somewhere in the mean time like an immigrant city till they can prove they are not terrorists

 @9H22P35Independent from Virginia answered…5mos5MO

Yes, unless they are dissidents against a terroristic government such as the DPRK, Islamic Republic of Iran, or Russian Federation.

 @9GZYMSS  from Pennsylvania answered…5mos5MO

Put more strict restrictions instead of completely banning, depending on the immigration not the country immigrating from
