Miller Brewing Co. Responds to Immigrants Boycott to Beer

Miller Brewing Co. put out an unusual one-page advertisement in Thursday's edition of Hoy in Chicago. The headline reads: "Miller Brewing Company se opone a la legislación HR4437 contra la inmigración" (Miller Brewing Company Opposes HR4437 Anti-Immigration Legislation).
The ad is in response to growing support to boycott Miller products after a group of pro-immigrant organizations in Chicago found out the company has contributed to the political campaign of Republican Sen. James Sensenbrenner, of Wisconsin. The senator is behind the HR4437 bill, which calls for strengthening the anti-immigration laws in the United States, including the construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The boycott against Miller was conceived for March 10, during a massive demonstration in Chicago to protest the proposed bill, which is currently under debate in the Senate. According to the organizers, Miller Brewing Co. contributes "economically with anti-immigration politicians" such as Sensenbrenner.
According to a story in Hoy,, some small business owners said they have considered not selling any Miller products in their shops.
In a statement released Wednesday, Miller Brewing Co. stated that Miller has a long history of proudly supporting many national and local Hispanic organizations. "We hope you continue to responsibly enjoy Miller products with the knowledge that our company will continue to support the Hispanic community and the rights of immigrants," the statement read.

Well, I've purchased my last Miller. I suppose that as long as the illegal alien population of the US buys their product, that will be enough for them.

An odd stance for a company that puts "UNION MADE" on their labels...

Budweiser panders to the broke back mt crowd.Does that mean Miller doesn't really have the easy opening "can" either?

Miller is owned by South Africa. Then they should stay out of our politics altogether, shouldn't they.
Just another reason not to buy.

Coors is a better option, to the best of my knowledge they've been faithful contributors to conservative causes and candidates for years.

Voice over for an imaginary Miller commercial:
"You've trudged miles through a blazing hot desert, swam a river and avoided the border patrol. Welcome to America, Pedro. Now, it's Miller time."

Gee, I wonder what their reaction would be if actual Americans started boycotting their products over this same issue?
Why don't we find out. Think the 12 million illegals can make up for the loss of 10's of millions more Americans?
