- Well, duh, there aren’t enough scholarships to go around, even though several organizations and some colleges are doing their best to keep students enrolled.
- Well, duh, some DACA advocates are telling students to look for educational opportunities in states that are friendlier to them (though it appears many are simply taking time off here).
