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, this company is history with Americans! The fact that they use the word "Immigrant" for criminal aliens is enoug for me!
