Should Muslim immigrants be banned from entering the country until the government improves its ability to screen out potential terrorists?
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.

The screening process for all immigrants needs to be improved. No one should be banned on the basis of religion or nationality

@9334YP32yrs2Y
All non-Christian, homosexual and transgender immigrants should be banned from entering the country indefinitely.
@92YHQCV2yrs2Y
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.
@92GWJXX2yrs2Y
No, but we should be helping our homeless first.
@7MKJ4WC2yrs2Y
Maybe, if the geopolitical climate is increasingly terroristic and unstable-e.g., Trump's reasoning for the temporary shutdown in December.
Deleted2yrs2Y
We should prioritize Christians.
@92B3M2K2yrs2Y
No, because Muslims are peaceful and people wrongfully accuse them to bring terrorists. Islam is a religion of peace.

Yes, as well as all other immigrants

Yes, there should be a limit.
