Mexico to U.S.: Tear Down This Wall! [1]
Submitted by Diane Farsetta [2] on
Following the U.S. House's passage of an immigration bill that would, among other things, extend walls along the U.S.-Mexico border, Mexico is fighting back. "Mexico ... will not allow a stupid thing like this wall," said its Foreign Relations Secretary. The Mexican government has hired Republican campaign consultant Rob Allyn [3] who has long also been Mexico President Vincente Fox [4]'s campaign advisor. Rob Allyn [3] and his Texas-based PR firm [5] Allyn & Company [6] is encouraging "U.S. church, community and business groups to oppose the proposal." O'Dwyer's PR Daily reports [7] that Rob Allyn [3], "developed advertising for Bush [8]'s campaigns for governor and the presidency." The firm has also worked for Wal-Mart [9] and XM Satellite Radio [10]. The Mexican government hopes Allyn & Company will "improve its image and stem the immigration backlash [11]."
