The Mexican government has hired a Dallas-based public relations firm to polish its image amid rising concerns in the United States over illegal immigration and a growing sentiment in Congress to better secure the border with Mexico.

Allyn & Co., whose founder, Rob Allyn, has ties to both the Bush administration and Mexican President Vicente Fox, is being paid $720,000 to stop what Mexican Embassy officials in Washington have described as "Mexico bashing."

"I can't think of a worse time of Mexico bashing in recent history than now," embassy spokesman Rafael Laveaga told The Washington Times. "Unfortunately, we don't find any positive viewpoints."

The Fox administration has criticized efforts in Congress to upgrade the government's control of the U.S.-Mexico border, including pending legislation that would authorize the construction of nearly 700 miles of high-security fencing and designate illegal entry as a felony.
