Also, I'm gonna play Devil's Advocate here.

I can understand not applying for DACA now, but they should also brace themselves for a possibility that Trump keeps DACA but only for current beneficiaries, and any new applicants are locked out (Until a new president reopens it or something).

And this actually makes more sense for Trump's "plan" to put things in limbo so "we can figure things out" while he carries out his deportation movement. He plays one side that he didn't take away DACA for current beneficiaries, but doesn't allow the number of beneficiaries to climb to appease the other side...and then he basically doesn't touch on the subject for another year or so while he figures out what to really do.

So everyone needs to really really think carefully about every possible scenario.
