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
@9GSFFG26mos6MO
No, but increase background checks for immigrants coming from countries with totalitarian governments or high crime rates.
@9GQFBJM6mos6MO
No, but there should be a deeper vetting of visas and those entering from that country to prevent potential terrorists from entering the country
@9LWW6XK1wk1W
No , But we cant let them in until cleared . Let them be under our military's protection at the border
@9LWSZ2M1wk1W
It depends. Those who have helped us, for example the Afghan translators should be able to enter. There needs to be a better screening process.
@9LVYNTW1wk1W
I am in the middle of yes and no yes because we never want to risk a terrorist attack but all so no because we don't want to judge everyone who comes from other countries based on the history.
