Okay, were he referring to all of the border crossers as animals, then there would be reason for outrage. But the context of this statement is in reply to commentary and questions about MS-13 specifically. I am not saying the statements aren't problematic. Otherizing people in this way is never a good thing, especially when you have such a high profile. But the media seems to be making this into a case of him saying this about all undocumented immigrants and not just about these specific gang members. There is a difference.
