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.
They shouldn't be banned. However, we need to do a sweep on the person before they go in.
No, however, we should toughen up immigration laws from "high risk" countries.
No, I oppose on this idea as it promotes discrimination, but we must have extensive background checks.
No, there should just properly look at the background of the individuals intensively. and agree on sixth choice.
@9675LD31yr1Y
It is such in a quantity of immigrants are/is a terrorist, but in such it must have an act first before letting people enter the country, specifically high risked countries that has a high intern for terrorism
@95KTQ4C2yrs2Y
No, but needs to screen immigrants from high risk countries more thoroughly
@94SW4BB2yrs2Y
No, but only ban immigrants with criminal records.
Maybe no..because it just for our safety..Its not Discrimination its just a Safety Policy And I hope Anyone Understand
@935LQR82yrs2Y
Immigrants from "high-risk countries" (where terrorist groups have been proven to be occupying and conquering), regardless of race, nationality, ethnicity, or religion, should be vetted. Those who have nothing to hide will gladly comply, anyway.
@9344PRJIndependent2yrs2Y
Send them to Bangsamoro or something idk
@8VW57K3Independent3yrs3Y
No, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional. But we should at least be aware.
@8VW5539Democratic3yrs3Y
No, unless research and investigation was conducted and that they proven terrorists
No, let's not be racist at this because not all Muslims are terrorists and most of them just want to live a normal life.
No, immigrants should be permitted to enter the country from anywhere until they have been thoroughly vetted but not just Muslims.
For me, Half Half because not all Muslim is bad.
@8L246Z93yrs3Y
Just better screening and investigation on them is good enough
Yes but we should have a test for them if they are really a terrorist
@8KZ529X3yrs3Y
just because their a muslim doesn't automatically mean their a terrorist
@8W7P8NCIndependent2yrs2Y
No, it's unconstitutional to base immigrants' religion to prohibit them. But rather, assessing the backgrounds of the foreigners should be committed.
Banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional but instead, checking backgrounds of the foreigners should be implemented.
We should improve the screening out of potential terrorists because it will never be about the race.
@92JXK3J2yrs2Y
Yes. We must ensure that our screening process can improve to ensure that terrorism cannot enter the country before reaccepting Muslim immigrants.
@93MK5NX2yrs2Y
make sure they are not a thereat to national security
@92YHQCV2yrs2Y
No, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional, but we should do background checks on immigrants from “high risk” countries, just in case
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, there should be a limit while we help out our poor citizens first.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, we need to be helping our poor citizens before letting in more immigrants.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, there should be a limit. We need to be helping our poor first.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, there should be a limit. We need to be helping the poor first.
@92ZYZRW2yrs2Y
Yes we should ban it until we have more ability to guarantee who they are and if they have no proof of identity they should not be allowed in the country.
@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.
@923Z93G2yrs2Y
Yes, as well as all other immigrants
@ThomasJ2492yrs2Y
Yes, there should be a limit.
@8ZTM4PG2yrs2Y
No, but if they are from high risk countries be sure to be more thorough in checking them.
@ThomasJ4762yrs2Y
Yes, only let in a small amount of families.
@8ZGYJSG2yrs2Y
yes because we would be weeding out terrorist and no because it would be considered a race crime.
@ThomasJJ992yrs2Y
No, make safe zones in their countries so they don't destroy ours.
@TexasShawtie2yrs2Y
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.
@Thomasjj682yrs2Y
Yes, make safe zones in their countries so they don't destroy ours.
@8YVHZD32yrs2Y
No. We are already good at screening legal immigrants.
@8S2LJ242yrs2Y
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
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, 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.
@8Y2PZNR2yrs2Y
No, but take greater steps to screen them before they are able to enter further into the interior of the US
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, they shouldn't be banned immediately based on their religion. 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.
@thomasjj02yrs2Y
We need to be helping the poor in our country before letting in so much people.
Deleted2yrs2Y
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.
