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.

Allow families and women in, no matter the religion, as long as they show an understanding of Swedish values. Single men should be screened properly and admitted only if they are under threat of violence or wrongful detention in their home country.
@97VXNX21yr1Y
No, but we should limit immigration from ''high risk'' countries.

Not ban, but implement better filters that support people with good values and respect for society and filter out people with bad values that are a risk for the society
@94GKFJ82yrs2Y
