GOP STRATEGIST IS TAKING HEAT FOR TAKING MEXICO AS CLIENT...
Mexican government has taken out ads urging Mexican workers to denounce rights violations in the United States. It also is hiring an American public relations firm to improve its image and counter growing U.S. concerns about immigration.
The American public relations firm recruited by a foreign government to organize an international campaign against a U.S. effort to protect its national borders is Allyn & Company. This company is organizing an international PR campaign to shame the United States and to attack its efforts to reform its immigration policies in favor of an "open-borders approach favored by the Mexican government.

Interesting analysis.
The facts are, that many U.S. based companies have stated, for many years, that they are multi-national corporations.
Now ... should you be speaking to many in the U.S. Congress, I would surely be in agreement.
In fact I would be happy to volunteer to build the scaffold.
You know, I would be much more accomodating with Mexico if it was more of a reciprocal arrangement. You know, something like allowing ownership of land and industries by Americans. Or selling oil to us a below market as payback for the tax dollars lost in supporting their citizens.
Allyn and company need to be shamed for their craven pursuit of a contract that is inimcal to the best interest of the US.

Rob Allyn is the Texas PR man and political consultant who quietly helped engineer Fox's election victory in 2000. Allyn joined Fox's fledgling 2000 presidential campaign, but only in secret.Mexico Promises to Block Border Wall PlanFor three years, Allyn worked clandestinely, helping craft Fox's message of change, as well as his TV commercials, his polling and his wardrobe. The publicist made dozens of trips to Mexico, traveling under three pseudonyms.
Allyn worked with Penn, Schoen & Berland, a polling and political consulting firm. They operated Democracy Watch, a nonpartisan group hired by Mexicans to conduct national exit polls as a hedge against election fraud. Their secret role in the Fox campaign was revealed a week after the July 2 election by the Dallas Morning News.
Allyn told the newspaper he hid his work for Fox because he didn't want to be a political liability. Mexicans are sensitive to foreign interference, especially involving the United States.
The Mexican government, angered by a U.S. proposal to extend a wall along the border to keep out migrants, pledged Tuesday to block the plan and organize an international campaign against it. It also is hiring an American public relations firm to improve its image and counter growing U.S. concerns about immigration.Mexico Retaliates for Border Wall PlanRob Allyn, president of the PR firm told The Associated Press Tuesday [12/20], "If people in the U.S. and Canada had an accurate view of the success of democracy, political stability and economic prosperity in Mexico, it would improve their views on specific bilateral issues like immigration and border security."
