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.

@9GN5KWP2yrs2Y
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
@9M4G5FW1yr1Y
Yes, except for harmless refugees from persecution, and deport immigrants who incite hate or terrorism
@B4HXVRF3mos3MO
No, but increase restrictions and regulations for immigrants coming from countries with totalitarian governments.
@9VJZYWB9mos9MO
No, the vast majority of prospective immigrants are regular people, and this unjustly turns them away. Plus, there is no real definition of a high risk country.
@9NTH43Q1yr1Y
Not banned, but they should be kept somewhere safe with all basic necessities provided until their background check is completed
@9GSFFG22yrs2Y
No, but increase background checks for immigrants coming from countries with totalitarian governments or high crime rates.
@B3WL2634mos4MO
Yes. Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution states that one of the responsibilities of the federal government is to "protect each of [the States] against Invasion; and...against domestic Violence." Based on this, the safety of U.S. citizens should be the primary concern.
@9QRZ2Y31yr1Y
No but all immigrants regardless of where they are from should undergo security screenings and checks.
