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 there should be a well -defined process to vet immigrants of all countries.
@5CNYTV94yrs4Y
Keep the country safe but make sure not to be racist.
@5CMPKVX4yrs4Y
Fact is, all terrorist attacks thus far have been from Muslims - not Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Taoists, Seventh Day Adventists, atheists, Satanists, etc. So, let's call a spade a spade and understand that radical jihadist Islamist Muslims have targeted everything and everyone not in accordance with it's stance on well, everything. Is it okay to be leery of such folk? I say, YES.
@5CNBR394yrs4Y
Look closer to home for the terrorists SMH
@546BWHR4yrs4Y
We put Japanese and Germans in camps while at war. Are we not at war on terrorists?
@597G7JP4yrs4Y
no let only the real Muslims not the fake "Muslims" who are terrorists.
@5CWPNK34yrs4Y
From what I understand, every incoming immigrant who comes legally goes through 40 hours of interrogation and 3 background checks. How much more do we need?
@4XW9CJV4yrs4Y
Most of the "terrorism" is engineered by the CIA, Mossad, MI6 etc. The Muslims are fall guys.
