Human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai recently weighed in on President Trump's desire to build a wall along the US-Mexico border. "This does not reflect America. This does not reflect the values of America," she said in an interview with 'CBS This Morning.' "I hope that the president and also other political leaders in the U.S., they must reflect what American people believe, which is welcoming and which is supporting refugees," Yousafzai continued. She was on the morning news show to promote her new book, 'We Are Displaced: My Journey and Stories from Refugee Girls Around the World,' which features her and others' accounts of how they have been affected by immigration policies in a number of nations around the world. Her comments come as Trump remains committed to continuing the partial government shutdown until he is given $5.7 billion of funding for his wall. With Democrats appearing unlikely to approve the funds, the president has suggested that he might acquire them through other means, such as declaring a national emergency.
