Anheuser-Busch’s Super Bowl ad tackles immigration

Anheuser-Busch just won the Super Bowl of advertising with this timely cinematic ad spot celebrating its immigrant founder, Adolphus Busch.

The 60-second TV ad is set to make a star of handsome Sam Schweikert, who plays the young German entrepreneur from Hamburg.

The beautifully shot commercial, titled “Born the Hard Way,” was released Tuesday, and hits in the midst of a raging immigration debate.

It celebrates the struggle of the company’s founder to make it to St. Louis — still the company’s headquarters — and realize his vision of creating a new kind of beer.

[sigh].....once again.....

There IS NO IMMIGRATION DEBATE.

NO ONE is arguing that immigrants have not made important contributions to this country.

This is about the Rule of Law and National Security.

Do they really think this is a good idea, given the probably political inclinations of who drinks their beer?

I am so skipping the Super Bowl. Between ads like this, and Lady Gaga and Goodell letting BLM take over the league, I just have better things to do.

Was he illegal? Did he swim around Ellis Island to get here? Then it only adds fuel to the fire and is a disgrace to its founders?

its immigrant founder, Adolphus Busch...

They will, no doubt, fail to mention that he came here when there was medical screening for infectious diseases, and no welfare state.

Legal immigrant, if I believe. We can not let them take the narritave. Correct every time. Think Rudy’s broken window policy. It worked.

Geez.. So now we have to be liberal to watch the Super Bowl???

Why is there such a strong desire among Corporate America types to bend over backwards to prove they are liberal? What is the point if this ad if not to make a liberal political statement???

The whole immigration wave here and in Europe is nothing but a very well planned, subtle, form of biological warfare. Sooner or later, there will be massive outbreaks of disease that Western folks are no longer as immune to as the immigrants.

The only reason big immigration wave to the States worked was because the immigrants were of the same European stock and in addition, were carefully screened for contagious disease.

Immigrants did not build the United States, its a flat out false fact that never gets refuted. The fact is there have been more US citizens who were born in the country total compared to all immigrants who came here born elsewhere.... Therefore hard working natural born citizens were the major group who built the U.S.

This is going to be the lowest-rated Super Bowl in years.

I have boycotted NFL all year, will do so on Super Bowl Sunday, (go Tom Brady)...boycotting for a long time Starbucks, Target, Amazon, anyone who doesn't like Hobby Lobby or Chic fa lay...

Just started going back to Wal Mart because they said they would hire more people...now I just have to see about all these companies coming back to America to bring their jobs with them, after President Trump gets rid of the H1B visa and lets see how many of the companies and corporations ‘hire Americans’...

Bud is foreign owned and no doubt some homo at an ad agency put the ad together. They don’t not give a you know what.

They are responding - as they always do - to whoever squeaks the loudest. They might pay a big price for that short-sighted position.
