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 should have a quarantine set up for them so that they can find out as much as possible for the safety of not just us but also them
think that the government should do standard safety and background checks before letting foreign citizens to enter the country
I think immigrants from high risk countries should be allowed in but we should improve our ability to screen out potential terrorists as well.
@9KJBNTL2mos2MO
it depends on where and they should be revalued for a bit but discreetly for the first couple month.
@9K62L5Y2mos2MO
No, the usual procedure is when you are moving overseas you get checked on criminal background etc. They will exterminate your possibilities of moving overseas if you have a higher risk of causing trouble.
@9G73NLV7mos7MO
No unless they find a significant way to test for threats without making it difficult for everyone else to apply
@9G733GF7mos7MO
Immigrants are not terrorists. Do not imply that in a person who is trying to life and provide a better life for themselves and their families
@9G6Y7L37mos7MO
Not really sure but if there are people in need we should help them and do a bit of background check before letting them in.
@9G6RT93New Zealand Loyal7mos7MO
If background checks are possible there should be background checks. I dont think they should be banned however.
There must be so many immigrants needing escape from high risk countries. Want to aid them but obviously not let in the terrorists.
@9G6N8687mos7MO
They should be banned if they are seen as a risk, otherwise should be free to enter (legally of course)
No, what is determined high risk and who makes that call - this is stereotyping and fear mongering, further stigmatising immigrants who aren't European. The terrorist attack was committed by someone from Australia!

We need to put a hold on ALL immigration until cost of living and housing for current residents and citizens has stablized.
@9G5MLKM7mos7MO
Do more thougher background checks from high risk countries. Most immigrants are no potential threat but there is a possibilty that some are potential threats
@9G5LT567mos7MO
No, but they should prioritise getting the screening process sorted so that immigrants can come here.
Immigrants who are fleeing for safety shouldn’t have to be reprimanded for wanting to find refuge for their families
@9G5J4X57mos7MO
Some of these immigrants might be in danger in their own countries. They should be screened with the current measures in place. There shouldn't be a total ban on allowing people in from high risk countries but they shouldn't be allowed in without any screening at all.
Child refugees supported by human rights, prioritise screening for their caregiver/s until screening is improved.
