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.

Australia should ban all immigration of Muslim people as they do not assimilate with the Multicultural and democratic way of life here in Australia. Since allowing Muslims into Australia, violence and in particular violence against females has increased substantially. Furthermore, the practice of the Muslim religion should also be banned here in Australia. All mosques should be turned into domestic violence shelters for women. All halal products should be banned also. Muslim only want to change Australia into the horrible country they left and remove the rights of Australians. They recruit the Aboriginal community to rise up against the rest of Australia.

@4ZR4GM94yrs4Y
Political correctness is killing the western world. We're so concerned with being called racists we bow to someone calling us silly names. There needs to be a massive injection of common sense and prudency to expidite processes as well as support in place once refugees are processed to stem the flow of problems.
@4TMZLTP4yrs4Y
Whilst I agree that banning is unconstitutional, I believe that Muslims are as much of a problem as Roman Catholics were and still are.
@4ZJ9F374yrs4Y
This is so racist to assume only Muslims are terrorists. They are victims of terrorism. Let them in.
@4ZMCRHG4yrs4Y
We should add a question to the immigration test "Are you a terrorist" "Do you like beer and bacon?" "Do you have a beard?" If the answers go yes, no ,yes then we should reconsider letting them in...
@4ZJFFFR4yrs4Y
A one year moratorium on all immigration from groups identified as being a 'cultural assimilation risk'
@4YNBG6H4yrs4Y
Seriously this is being discussed. How about we also stop all Christians in case they are affiliated with the KKK. Yes lets discriminate against Muslim immigrants because all terror plots in Aus haven't been from home grown terrorists. NO as Australians we cannot and should not discriminate, normal screening is ok.
