Whatever America Needs

"B.C. sat back in his chair. 'Whatever America needs, the world will supply. Cocaine? Colombia steps to the plate. Shortage of farm workers, corn detasslers? Thank God for Mexico. Baseball players? Viva Dominica. Need more interns? India, Philippines zindabad!'" Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone, p. 401
