How much per hour do you reckon that would have to be?

Maybe there would just be fewer minimum wage jobs, and MickeyDburgers would cost north of $15 each. Or maybe that would simply expand opportunitidades por nos hermanos y hermanas hispanicos sin documentos.

Perhaps you'd get to order it as "Doble hamburguesa con queso, por favor. Aqui esta America. Habla espaņol."

And no, using estar vs. ser wasn't a mistake.
