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.

Make sure we raise security from high risk countries and have firm checks from them to make sure it’s safe for them to come here
@9JHGLTF3mos3MO
It would be hard to determine if they have links to terrorism but maybe the government should invest in some ways to monitor those family/people.
@9J46KB23mos3MO
Yes, but only if they went through a background check for criminal history.
