In a related story, Mexico just announced that any Mexicans in the US who are in trouble and need consular assistance can go to.....well, any fucking restaurant they want to, as the back of the house is run by Mexicans.

i can't even imagine the mechanics of that.  what is someone making $7/hr going to be able to do for you other than let you use the phone?

The Austrian fry guy isn't going to be preparing your new passport documentation or whatever.
