Donald Trump Jr. Compares Immigrants to Zoo Animals
---------------------------------------------------

President Trump and his White House counsel plan to visit Mc Allen,
Texas, today amid speculation he may declare a national emergency and
try to use Pentagon funds to pay for part of an expanded border wall.
Meanwhile, the president's oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., shared a post
on Instagram comparing immigrants to animals. Donald Trump Jr. wrote,
"Do you know why you can enjoy a day at the zoo? Because walls work."
Don Jr.'s post echoes President Trump's past comment calling immigrant
gang members "animals" and "not people."
