Mexicans Hire Bush Advisor To Stop US Border, Illegal Immigration Reforms

The Mexican government's comments about US policy appears to have backfired, with many Americans demanding Mexico butt out of American politics and policy. "Most Americans don't buy the argument about illegals helping the US economy. Illegal workers depress wages, deplete available social and healthcare services, and creates crime problems," says homeland security expert Sid Francis. "If the Mexicans want sympathy from US citizens, calling them stupid and underhanded isn't going to do it." The immigration bill, scheduled for February in the US Senate, falls short of giving President Bush and President Fox their desired "guest worker" program that will benefit Mexicans almost exclusively. Fox, who will not seek reelection in 2006, does wish to leave a legacy that provides easier access to the United States, so he's turned to a GOP insider to help him. The conventional wisdom is that the Republican Party is tougher on national security and homeland security, so they are the leaders to whom he must plead his cause. So Fox called on GOP strategist Rob Allyn, the man who assisted George W. Bush in beating Governor Ann Richards for the State House in Texas. When Vincente Fox, then governor of Guanajuato state, began his campaign for the Mexican presidency, Allyn joined Fox's presidential campaign, with the stipulation that Allyn's role remain secret. According to the Los Angeles Times, for three years, Allyn worked clandestinely, helping craft Fox's message of change, as well as his TV commercials, his polling and his wardrobe. Allyn made dozens of trips to Mexico, traveling under one of three pseudonyms. After the July election, Allyn told the Dallas Morning News 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. http://www.canadafreepress.com/2005/tabor123105.htm
