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.

Ideology:
Ban all the muslims forever
@9F5GP8B2yrs2Y
Ban all immigrants and take steps to deport non white germans
@9F52LJ52yrs2Y
No, You can’t tell if someone is religious only based on the country they are coming from
@9F4KCYD2yrs2Y
If someone declare as a muslim they must be screened. Also if someone declared as a non muslim they shouldn’t have the right to come back to islam
No, unless if a Muslim immigrant/refugee is a terrorist terrors the country.

Skill based immigration with proper background check only

No, but we should limit immigration from'' high risk'' countries.
@986YYN93yrs3Y
No, but we should limit immigration from ''high risk'' countries as much as possible.
@8W2SSKRFree Democratic4yrs4Y
Maybe but a more through screening process is need in general.
No, but immigration should have a maximum capacity, after a certain amount of the population is made up of immigrants, Germany should stop accepting more.
The screening process for all immigrants needs to be improved. No one should be banned on the basis of religion or nationality
@8VD6FYMFree Democratic4yrs4Y
Temporary conditional immigration.
@8S9YSKW4yrs4Y
No, but background screening should improve.
@8N4CZR85yrs5Y
No but applicants should be carefully vetted and the same should be done with non Muslim immigrants
@8LSW2WV5yrs5Y
Yes, and ban all immigrants permanently
@8CM6DHC5yrs5Y
Yes, and all immigrants should be banned from Russia
No, but we need to increase the checks on their identities
@997KY7R2yrs2Y
No, until terrorist attacks increase
Support and educate immigrants so they have it easier to integrate themselves.
ban in forever, and kill the ones here
@99546932yrs2Y
Do criminal background checks on people entering the country.
Immigrants should be allowed based on their beliving into western country ideals.
@98LPVCYFree Democratic2yrs2Y
No, but we should limit immigration from “high risk” countries.
Ban it forever and kill the ones already here.
@97PCN8MFree Democratic3yrs3Y
No, but government should demand serious effort from immigrant's end to integrate into the gean society
No, but there should be heavier screening on immigrants from "high risk" countries
@977G79C3yrs3Y
No, but we should limit immigration for some countries with radical ideologies.
@976WJ3T3yrs3Y
No, but we should limit immigration from some countries.
@96YKSJ4Free Democratic3yrs3Y
No, but we should limit immigration from ''high risk countries''.

Deleted4yrs4Y
Make safe zones in their country of origin so they do not need to migrate.
@8VTRBQ64yrs4Y
No, but we do need to improve our screen process and add methods to easily deport due to criminality or risk.
Deleted4yrs4Y
We need to be protecting our citizens before letting in others.
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, they shouldn't be banned immediately based on their religion, and there should be a screening process for all immigrants, not just Muslims to decide if they are a threat to anyone, anything or national security. Bans should only arise if there is a potential threat from a individual.
Deleted4yrs4Y

@8YVHZD33yrs3Y
No. We are already good at screening legal immigrants.
@TexasShawtie3yrs3Y
No, anyone that truly want to be free should be able to apply to become a citizen. But a thorough vetting on any immigrant needs to be implemented.
Deleted4yrs4Y
We should be helping out the homeless and lower class citizens of our nation before letting in people.
@3GZTJR25yrs5Y
No, however ban all immigration until the government improves its screening process
@99G2ZRR2yrs2Y
No, but improve screening process and raise standard of immigration.
@8WVSFDZ4yrs4Y
Yes but we need to keep improving the screening process.
@8XQCYHB4yrs4Y
It's wrong to ban immigrants based on their religion, but immigrants from "high risk" countries should be banned.
@8JHKCHJ5yrs5Y
No, but work to perfect the screening process of Immigrants so we can remain safe.
@92B3M2K3yrs3Y
No, because Muslims are peaceful and people wrongfully accuse them to bring terrorists. Islam is a religion of peace.
@6HDD83R5yrs5Y
Muslims who are not liberal*, secular, heterosexual or asexual, centrist or rightist, religiously tolerant, and monogamist should not be allowed to enter the U.S.
* liberal (liberal Muslims as in Muslims who are more open minded about their sons & daughters marrying non-Muslims (e.g. Christians) or even converting to Christianity upon their marriage to their non-Muslim spouse (e.g. the first lady of Argentina who converted to Roman Catholicism from Islam, where she stated in an interview with La Nación newspaper in 2012, that her father is a liberal Muslim who did not object to one of Juliana's sisters marrying a Christian and the other a Jew), secular, pro-gender equality, pro-democracy, pro-Israel, pro-west/westernized and religiously tolerant
@92JXK3J3yrs3Y
Yes. We must ensure that our screening process can improve to ensure that terrorism cannot enter the country before reaccepting Muslim immigrants.
@92YHQCV3yrs3Y
No, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional, but we should do background checks on immigrants from “high risk” countries, just in case
@92YHQCV3yrs3Y
No, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional. However, immigrants from “high risk” countries should be allowed entry too, but only after extensive background checks and continuous monitoring to ensure they have no terrorist connections.
@8QRCFQP4yrs4Y
No but with anyone wanting to be a citizen, it absolutely should be the governments job to make sure they will not be a harm to its citizens.
@8SGD6VY4yrs4Y
Any immigrant from around the world should not be allowed into the US until extensive background checks are carried out
@93MK5NX3yrs3Y
make sure they are not a thereat to national security
@8WJKP854yrs4Y
This should apply to ALL IMMIGRATION.
@dmlinkd4yrs4Y
No, but have background checks to Muslims from "high risk" countries
@4SNPK4B4yrs4Y
No, because I don’t believe such a policy can successfully avoid also unfairly restricting those who wish to leave that religion.
@3YNTGFH4yrs4Y
No - We should completely reform our LEGAL immigration process, improving our security measures, increasing the efficiency, decreasing the cost for LEGAL immigrants, and increasing the number of immigrants.
@7MKJ4WC3yrs3Y
Maybe, if the geopolitical climate is increasingly terroristic and unstable-e.g., Trump's reasoning for the temporary shutdown in December.
@86CRJ6M4yrs4Y
No. This is totally unconstitutional.
@8CNT65N5yrs5Y
Immigrants should not be "banned", but a thorough search should be done.
@8CQ7HBG5yrs5Y
We should do extensive checks to make sure immigrants are loyal to the U.S and not to terrorist groups
@8CYG8KL5yrs5Y
No, not until we fix airport, and border security and checks
@7PTCG385yrs5Y
No, but immigrants from "high risk" countries should have thorough background checks completed to screen out potential acts of terrorism, regardless of race or religion
@7PTCG385yrs5Y
No, but immigrants from "high risk" countries should have thorough background checks completed before entering our country.
@8HG3DST5yrs5Y
I think that as people shouldn't be banned based on religion, but they should background and safety checks on them.
@8HVDYGY5yrs5Y
No, but we should preform a background check on incoming immigrants.
@8JGSKD55yrs5Y
we should just improve our screening processes
@8LSVCGK5yrs5Y
No, but apply strict background checks on them
@8NXSCW25yrs5Y
No, we should aggressively vet every immigrant. Religion is irrelevant.
@8NY47RM5yrs5Y
Yes, and improve our screening process.
@Lukachew325yrs5Y
Yes, and ban all immigration for 25 years
@8P4J7995yrs5Y
No but background checks should be required
@8PD6ZCL5yrs5Y
No, but thorough background checks on all immigrants from all countries must be made to ensure that they do not have ties with terrorist organizations.
@8QKJ7R94yrs4Y
No, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional, but we should improve our ability to screen out potential terrorists
@8QVBBMS4yrs4Y
No, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional but background checks need to be enacted.
@8RXLBJ24yrs4Y
no, but a background check and extra checks on all immigrants could keep this country safe
@8S2LJ243yrs3Y
No, banning anyone based on who they are, what they believe in, and what they have done in the past is against the teachings of Jesus Christ
Deleted4yrs4Y
I want a general ban or a limitation on the immigration into the country. We should and need to be helping the poor, homeless, and sick before letting in more people.
@8SJL5BT4yrs4Y
only if they are convicted of a crime
@8TB798W4yrs4Y
No, but extra scrutiny should be given Muslin immigrants.
@8TKFNNS4yrs4Y
Yes only ban them if they have a history and loyality with terrorist groups now if they don,t have a history or loyality with the terrorist groups they can come in legally and clean with a new fresh start as a new america.
@8TKFNNS4yrs4Y
Yes Only if they pose a threat to our Country other than that they should mind their own business.
@8VC7WDN4yrs4Y
Yes, during a 10 to 15 year immigration moritorium, reforms to our screening process should be made, especially toward muslim immigrants. We should not welcome those who import their culture into ours and drastically change the face of America. Assimilation should be mandatory for these kind of immigrants.
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional. There should be free zones in middle eastern countries instead of allowing so much people in. We need to be helping out our homeless citizens first.
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, but there should be a screening process for all immigrants, not just Muslims to decide if they are a threat to anyone, anything or national security. Bans should only arise if there is a potential threat from a individual.

@8WDX77R4yrs4Y
no , unless there is suspicious activity in their background check
@8WP5BCC4yrs4Y
No we shouldn't ban them we should just do a test from "high risk" countries I guess.
@8XQ8B5G4yrs4Y
No, but we should keep them under high watch and criminal activities and relations to terrorist
@thomasjj04yrs4Y
We need to be helping the poor in our country before letting in so much people.
@8Y2PZNR4yrs4Y
No, but take greater steps to screen them before they are able to enter further into the interior of the US
@Thomasjj683yrs3Y
Yes, make safe zones in their countries so they don't destroy ours.
@ThomasJJ993yrs3Y
No, make safe zones in their countries so they don't destroy ours.
@8ZTM4PG3yrs3Y
