Jimmy Kimmel grilled GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump Wednesday night on his recent comments about Muslims and even questioned if his views were "un-American."

"Did anyone try to talk you out of saying we should temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States?" Kimmel asked the GOP frontrunner.

"Well the word is temporarily," Trump responded. "And I have many, many friends who are Muslim, and they're great people and some of them-not all of them-some of them are not thrilled about what I said, but many of them called me and they said 'you know what Donald, you're right, we have a problem.' I mean look, we have a problem."

"But isn't it un-American and wrong to discriminate against people based on their religion," Kimmel said as the audience applauded.

Trump stood firmly by his plan and even claimed he had the support of immigrants while Kimmel stood strongly in his disapproval. Kimmel then asked the candidate about his plan to build a massive wall on the U.S. border with Mexico and pointed out that his sidekick Guillermo came to the U.S. illegally before he went through the process to gain legal status.

"Don't we want people who want to be here so badly that they will risk everything to be in America and to be an American? Aren't those the people that we want in this country?" Kimmel asked.

Trump then said he had "thousands of Hispanics" work for him over the years and called then "unbelievable people."

"What I'm saying is they have to come through a legal process" he continued. "We're going to have a big, beautiful door. We want people to come in; we want people to come in legally."
