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
@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
@9GSFFG26mos6MO
No, but increase background checks for immigrants coming from countries with totalitarian governments or high crime rates.
@9LNPQ7Y1wk1W
I'm both yes and no because for example in Mexico, cartels tend to kidnap children, take their organs out, fill them with illegal powders or substances, and take them to the U.S. in a van full of multiple children in that way.
@9LM77TD1wk1W
If the immigrant trying to enter the country truly needs help i feel like they should be able to get in but if for like vacation i don't think so
@9LLSLVN1wk1W
It should be easier for immigrants who served as interpreters for our US Mililtary to come to the USA. We should also have resources to make it easier for immigrants to adjust to life in our country.
