Not sure if you mentioned it because I really refuse to read your novel, but doesn't hiring undocumented workers to do those jobs produce the same result as outsourcing? It's Americans losing jobs, same result.

Here's the paragraph in the novel you didn't read:
"I'll skip the part of my response that describes the importance of undocumented workers to this G.O.P. utopia, and how hypocritical conservatives rail against them out of one side of their mouth to score political points with xenophobes while at the same time refusing to do anything that would undermine the benefits they harvest from having a cheap, fearful source of labor ever present."
It's a whole 'nother novel for another day.
The one thing GWB ever had right...and the one thing that pissed off his base, was that he wanted to approach this issue in a sensible manner.
