I’m betting on pres Trump holding their feet to the fire (which is a term from England where they would employ children as chimney sweeps, but when they started to get too big to crawl up into the chimneys, the boss would hold fire under them to force them to climb in order to keep from having to “hire” new kids and train them- the term “h9ld their feet to the fire” resulted.

Anyway, I hope pres Trump won’t let them slow down until a majority of ALL illegal invaders are removed.
