Donald Trump’s restrictions on immigrants from select Islamic countries has divided opinions across the world and on social media, especially here on SAS.

No matter where you stand on the issue, there are passionate viewpoints on either side.

And like many people, controversial radio shock jock Kyle Sandilands has an opinion on the issue – and he had no issues talking about it on Kyle and Jackie-O’s radio show on KIIS FM this morning.

Whether you like Sandilands or not, some people might find themselves agreeing with what he had to say about the immigration restrictions.

It turns out the shock jock, who is friendly with Pauline Hanson, agrees with Trump’s stance.

Sandilands revealed he supported the ban because it was putting Americans’ safety first.

“We’ve let the troublemakers get away with this s*** for so long,” he said.

“We trust government to keep us safe in a country like this and a country like America and a country like Canada.”

He believes the issue isn’t about religion at all, citing that the ban targeted selected countries and was not a ban on Muslims as such.

Sandilands also hit back at calls for banning guns instead of cracking down on immigration, saying a ban on guns wouldn’t  ‘stop a guy from cutting a woman’s head off’.

“It’s all well to say it’s not nice, until someone gets blown up or shot. This s***’s real,” he said.

 “That’s why they’ve put these bans in, to stop the bad, not to stop the good.”

But like many on both sides of the debate he sympathised with innocent people who’ve been caught up in the restrictions.

For once you might actually find yourself nodding in agreement with what Kyle had to say!
