"I know of students who have graduated magna cum laude and top honors in their colleges, but right now they're working minimum wage in restaurants," said Antonio Albizures-Lopez, 20 . . . "

Well, THAT's a lie.

Unless it's the Acme School of Dog Washing and Dishwasher Repair, or they got a degree in Queer Studies or a similarly useless major. Anybody with top honors/magna cum laude would have a job lined up and the employer would be fast-tracking a citizenship application for them as an "essential employee".

This guy's just making up a sob story hoping somebody will buy his shpiel.

Hey, are you making fun of EVERY community college or well over half the universities in America?

Well, you’re dead on! I know whereof you speak - my best buddy from university days in the ‘60s was the dean of admissions for one of the nation’s largest community colleges. His deadpan line when the topic came up:

“We gwine ta collie.”

Sadly, he wasn’t kidding. He often said the first three semesters in community college were devoted to covering what these freeloading, underwear and ass-crack showing yo-yos should have learned in high school.
