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, but ban if they can't provide valid, vettable identification.
@93SHQL73yrs3Y
Not based off religion but people/countries that threaten us
@92GRDS33yrs3Y
Improve vetting system for all immigrants regardless of country of origin.
@8Y7GZL23yrs3Y
yes, and make them go through numerous tests and background checks.
@8XP7PVW3yrs3Y
No, banning people based on their religion is not only unconstitutional but extremely ethnocentric and can lead to rising tensions at home and abroad and puts Muslim Americans in danger
@8LRYZXP5yrs5Y
i think they should have to have background checks and if that particular person is a risk-factor, then they personally shouldn't be allowed
@8LDQ3B55yrs5Y
No, the current screening process is enough
@8CMHLYY5yrs5Y
No, Immigrants from high risk countries should be subject to a two year probation period. Subject to automatic deportation if found associating with known terriorists.
@8CM9BC85yrs5Y
No, but immigrants from “high risk” countries should be rigorously vetted
I believe that since there have been many issues with Muslims and the United States, background checks should be done to make sure that there are no threats.
@97VJ8MS3yrs3Y
No but we should still increase screening ability.
@8Y7NCTQ3yrs3Y
No, but we should improve our screening process as soon as possible
@8QXXV8S4yrs4Y
All immigrants should be fully vetted for safety
@8K94YGT5yrs5Y
No, but the government should actively work towards better screening materials for all immigrants regardless of religion
