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.

@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.

@8XQCYHB2yrs2Y
It's wrong to ban immigrants based on their religion, but immigrants from "high risk" countries should be banned.
@8XQ8B5G2yrs2Y
No, but we should keep them under high watch and criminal activities and relations to terrorist
Deleted2yrs2Y
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.
@8WVSFDZ2yrs2Y
Yes but we need to keep improving the screening process.
@8WP4B3G2yrs2Y
No, but have background checks to Muslims from "high risk" countries
@8WP5BCC2yrs2Y
No we shouldn't ban them we should just do a test from "high risk" countries I guess.
@8WJKP852yrs2Y
This should apply to ALL IMMIGRATION.
@8WDX77R2yrs2Y
no , unless there is suspicious activity in their background check
Deleted2yrs2Y
Make safe zones in their country of origin so they do not need to migrate.
@4SNPK4B3yrs3Y
No, because I don’t believe such a policy can successfully avoid also unfairly restricting those who wish to leave that religion.
@8VTRBQ63yrs3Y
No, but we do need to improve our screen process and add methods to easily deport due to criminality or risk.
@8VPY5NS3yrs3Y
not ban immigrants from “high risk” countries, but have security be more cautious
Deleted3yrs3Y
We should allow Afghan citizens to come in during this trying time, but ban others for a limited time.
@8VC7WDN3yrs3Y
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.
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, the CIA and FBI's work is all gross. 9/11 was an inside job.
@3YNTGFH3yrs3Y
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.
@8TKFNNS3yrs3Y
Yes Only if they pose a threat to our Country other than that they should mind their own business.
@8TKFNNS3yrs3Y
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.
@8TB798W3yrs3Y
No, but extra scrutiny should be given Muslin immigrants.
