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.

@9GN5KWP6mos6MO
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
@9M4G5FW1wk1W
Yes, except for harmless refugees from persecution, and deport immigrants who incite hate or terrorism
@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
@9MDZCV57hrs7H
The government should allow people to come through to escape not because the person felt like moving.
@9MCT2K72 days2D
Yes, but let's put some focus on that and support th families of those who helped our Veterans in Iraq and Afghanistan. Translators, etc. Use some common sense in screening them.
