"Propaganda" is a term used by the loser in a PR war. With power and money in the bargain, it would be naive to think that Fox would stay away from a firm in the area with links to the administration and with proven success (imagine being able to successfully sell GW to the electorate).

I guess the problem I have with it is that the media is portraying this as some massive grass roots uprising for civil rights by Mexican immigrants. When actually it's big governments and big corporations lobbying to make their slave labor/indentured servitude practice legal. What's even worse is the very party that claims to be big on border security and immigration is actually behind PR campaigns to sway the masses in favor of this. We have a few people taking advantage of huge mass of uneducated non-english speaking foreigners who think they are fighting for their rights, when in fact they are fighting to legalize their own enslavement.
It's no longer "our" government. We the people can no longer lobby the government. Only foreign governments like the dubai ports thing, china, and mexico can lobby our government. Time and time again they go against the wishes of the American people.
You don't see a problem with Vicente Fox successfully lobbying against the wishes of the American people?
