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 they should be kept somewhere safe like a migrant-specific shelter with all basic necessities provided until they’re thoroughly screened and cleared
@9M4G5FW7mos7MO
Yes, except for harmless refugees from persecution, and deport immigrants who incite hate or terrorism
@9NTH43Q6mos6MO
Not banned, but they should be kept somewhere safe with all basic necessities provided until their background check is completed
@9GSFFG21yr1Y
No, but increase background checks for immigrants coming from countries with totalitarian governments or high crime rates.
@9QRZ2Y35mos5MO
No but all immigrants regardless of where they are from should undergo security screenings and checks.
@9VJZYWB2mos2MO
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.
@9GQFBJM1yr1Y
No, but there should be a deeper vetting of visas and those entering from that country to prevent potential terrorists from entering the country

I belive records of the migrating person should be provided to help prove if they're innocent of any crimes.
