In their misguided zest to “catch up” with the competition, Miller Brewing Co., is sponsoring an illegal alien march this weekend.
This time, as demonstrators march from Chinatown to House Speaker Dennis Hastert’s (R-Ill.) Batavia office this weekend, they will have Miller Brewing Co., as a sponsor. The brewer has paid more than $30,000 for a planning convention, materials and newspaper ads publicizing the event.
The support of a major corporation for a controversial political cause shows how fierce the competition has become to woo the growing market of Latino consumers.
For Miller, the march offered a special chance to catch up. This spring the brewer drew the ire of pro-immigrant forces over contributions to U.S. Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), who sponsored legislation that would crack down on illegal immigrants. That prompted a short-lived boycott by some Latino groups.
Now, march advertisements feature not just the organizing committee’s trademark blue globe but Miller’s logo and a Spanish translation of its “Live Responsibly” slogan, a company effort to build goodwill among Latinos.
…Romero said he wasn’t worried that some opponents of illegal immigration would be upset at the company’s support of “the free movement of people, labor, goods and services.”
“As long as you are stacking facts against facts, they are free to make their own decisions. We will stand by our positions,” he said.
As Michelle said, “Live responsibly? By supporting law-breaking? Miller is not only helping illegal alien activists thumb their noses at the law, it’s also thumbing its corporate nose at you!”

You people are turning away MILLIONS of future voters from your party…
by all emans, please, keep it up.

Illegals don’t have the right to vote, contrary to what Democratic politicians tell them.

No, of course they don’t - but their children do/will. (!)
September 1, 2006 - 10:37 AM on September 1st, 2006
Debatable…
September 1, 2006 - 11:06 AM on September 1st, 2006
Long term wise, I really think you guys are shooting yourselves in the foot on this issue.
September 1, 2006 - 11:19 AM on September 1st, 2006
We aren’t shooting ourselves in the foot. What we are doing is stopping the illegal flow of people that are coming ino this country and destroying the school systems and breaking the bank. What we are doing is stopping these illegals from coming in and taking jobs that should be given to citizens. You haven’t quite figured out what happened to the middle class yet, have you?
September 1, 2006 - 12:22 PM on September 1st, 2006
Xenophobia - “an unreasonable fear or hatred of foreigners or strangers.”
Yes, you ARE shooting yourselves in the foot.
Demographically speaking, Hispanics will outnumber whites in a decade or two…you are not making any friends in their community with your fear and hatred.
September 1, 2006 - 12:29 PM on September 1st, 2006
“What we are doing is stopping these illegals from coming in and taking jobs that should be given to citizens.”
Please. You aren’t stopping shit.
Your party can’t agree on legislation, and all your team is doing is blowing hot air…and xenophobic rants about how they are “destroying” America. Nfuture voter wants to be told that they or they parents are “destroying” anything…
September 1, 2006 - 12:46 PM on September 1st, 2006
Now, the first indications the added effort may be working: the number of illegal immigrants caught trying to sneak in the U.S. has dropped almost by half.
And thank-you for the definition, but youmight be betterserved to learn how to use it properly. We do not hate or fear Mexicans, we hate the fact that they are breaking the law.
September 1, 2006 - 01:41 PM on September 1st, 2006
“We do not hate or fear Mexicans”
I seriously doubt that.
September 1, 2006 - 01:47 PM on September 1st, 2006
Whoa! Did you even read that article you posted; beyond the first paragraph?? Even the border patrol says the numbers aren’t at all certain.
Besides, in the high heat of the summer, border crossings probably dip naturally anyway, that was also touched on in your link.
September 1, 2006 - 01:51 PM on September 1st, 2006
I always find it interesting that folks against illegal immigration are usually accused of racism, or in this case, Xenophobia. That’s an insult generally served up by folks who typically can’t find their way around the argument through other means - like providing a good solid rationale for illegal activities.
They don’t call it illegal immigration for nuthin’ - and the mere fact that it’s illegal is absolutely going to raise the hackles of those in this country who are against illegal activies going unpunished - and in some cases, rewarded.

Amen, sista!!!
3.
Illegal immigrants to count in a way. As they increase a states population, that state gains more reps in the House and the Electoral College. This is why they hold sway over politicians.
9.
Peejz’s party is not the only one split, but yours are also. This is also an issue that the Dems are pandering.
11.
Of course you doubt that, as you are close minded to any other option. Legal Mexican immigrants are welcome, and if legislation is passed to increase those numbers then by all means, they are welcome.

Why Would Miller Beer Sponsor The Illegal Alien March On Labor Day?
Miller Brewing has either been invaded by illegal alien proponents in it’s marketing department, in it’s executive ranks or in it’s low end workforce because the company has decided to throw it’s hat into the political debate over illegal immigrati…

SF Liberal,
Please, keep it up. Posts like yours (complete with veiled threats …. better be nice to them, b/c there will be more of them than you) only stands to strengthen the anger and resolve of anti-illegal immigration folks. While Hispanics made up 14% of the peopulation, they constituted only 6% of the vote (which happens when 15-20 million are illegals).
Furthermore, 60% of Americans are in favor of deportation of illegals.
September 5, 2006 - 11:39 AM on September 5th, 2006
#1, the matter is, of course, clear. Disrespect for the law cannot stand. We’re not talking civil rights as in ’sit in the back of the bus’, we’re talking entering a country legally. The example I gave to my 9 year old went like this: “Any one who knocks on the door and identifies himself is welcomed to come in. Any one who climbs through a window is not welcome.” Can’t get any easier than that.
#2, Boycott Miller? That’s easy. Their beer is terrible.
September 5, 2006 - 12:18 PM on September 5th, 2006
“…only stands to strengthen the anger and resolve of anti-illegal immigration folks.”
Which will, in time, make your hand weaker as you push the people away from being future GOP voters.
“Hispanics made up 14% of the peopulation”
Of the total national population, for now. But some states already have hispanic majorities or are getting nearer to a latin majority.
But, please, by all means, you guys should keep on demonizing migrant workers. It just makes you guys look so much worse in the long run.
And you don’t even know it. tsk-tsk.
September 5, 2006 - 12:39 PM on September 5th, 2006
and you should keep on being the party of lawlessness, welfare, and appeasement..it’s worked so well for you at the polls
and YOU don’t even know it…tsk, tsk.
September 5, 2006 - 12:41 PM on September 5th, 2006
Oh, man… I can’t give up my Sparks plus 7%
no F-ing way!

I thought you folks would be interested in receiving the following official statement from Miller Brewing Company regarding the immigration issue:
Miller Brewing Company has never supported illegal immigration and we have always supported the full enforcement of current U.S. laws.
Miller did not sponsor the Labor Day immigration march held in Chicago.
Going forward, Miller will closely review all requests for support from community and charitable organizations to ensure that we are not indirectly funding or associating our name with advocacy efforts on the immigration issue.
We plan to stick to the business of brewing, marketing and selling great beer.
Thanks for your interest in this topic.
September 5, 2006 - 01:36 PM on September 5th, 2006
I’ll keep drinking the Sparks baby!
September 5, 2006 - 02:53 PM on September 5th, 2006
I don’t drink beer.

Over 100 Organizations to Boycott Miller Brewing Company for their support of illegal immigration.
EMBARGO: Till Tuesday, September 5
CONTACT: Jason Mrochek & William Gheen
http://www.MillerBoycott.com
media@millerboycott.com
(866) 329-3999
A coalition of over 100 groups that support the enforcement of America’s existing immigration laws, including charges against employers that hire, aid, and abet illegal aliens, has launched a national boycott of Miller Brewing Company and their parent company SABMiller plc.
The boycott message is simple. Miller Brewing Company supports illegal immigration by giving money to groups that support amnesty, marches, and benefits for illegal aliens. Citizens are encouraged to “Dump the beer! Dump the stock!”
A website containing boycott instructions, a petition, and documentation has been launched at http://www.MillerBoycott.com
Citizens supporting the boycott are encourage to avoid Miller Brewing Company products such as Miller Lite, ICE House, Miller Genuine Draft, and Milwaukee’s Best. Citizens are also encouraged to divest in the company’s stock and any mutual funds containing their stock. Fliers, stickers, and e-mail forwards are also provided.
“It is time for these large corporations that are using their financial influence to open America’s borders to be punished!” said William Gheen of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC). “It is time for the immigration enforcement movement to show these unscrupulous corporations what we can do when we all work together.”
The boycott is being arranged under the banner of the National Illegal Immigration Boycott Coalition which plans to organize over 100 groups behind the effort. Jason Mrochek of WeHireAliens.com and FIRE Coalition, and William Gheen of ALIPAC are heading up the effort.
“Miller Brewing Company is giving money to groups that support amnesty and citizenship for illegal aliens that have broken many of our laws.” said Jason Mrochek of FIRE Coalition. “The last thing we need is more illegal aliens driving drunk and killing American citizens.”
Congressman Steve King’s office reports that thirteen Americans are being killed by uninsured drunk driving illegal aliens every day as a consequence of America’s unenforced immigration laws. Miller Brewing Company plans to increase profits by marketing their beer to the Hispanic markets that are growing rapidly due to illegal immigration.
All members of the media and public that are concerned about corporate influences using their power to usurp the existing laws of America and the representation of the American public are encouraged to support the boycott and visit http://www.MillerBoycott.com
http://www.WeHireAliens.com is the nation’s largest online database of employers allegedly hiring illegal aliens where citizens can report employers that hire illegal aliens to Immigration and Customs Enforcement through the site. ALIPAC is a national political action committee dedicated to securing America’s borders and enforcement of existing immigration laws found online at http://www.alipac.us

Miller Beer Sales and SABMiller Stock Dive as Boycott enters Phase II
Monday, September 25, 2006
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT: Miller Boycott Coalition, Media@MillerBoycott.com

Jason Mrochek (FIRE Coalition) & William Gheen (ALIPAC)
Last week the Illegal Immigration Boycott Coalition passed the 100 supporting organizations mark and achieved over 12,000 petition signatures while the Dow Jones Newswires announced a collapse in SABMiller’s stock value and beer sales in America!
The boycott by immigration enforcement groups was brought on by September 1 reports in the Chicago Tribune that Miller Brewing Company gave $30,000 to pro amnesty organizations that support illegal immigration. Coalition members also determined that Miller gives large sums of money to race based organizations like La Raza (Translation: The Race)
According to the Dow Jones News Newswires (9/22/2006) SABMiller (SAB.JO) stock had fallen to 999p. This is a 6.02percent drop since the launch of the Miller Boycott on September 5 when the stock was trading at 1063p. Dow Jones reports that Miller Beer’s sales are down in America more than other major companies.
Since the launch of the boycott, coalition representatives have been on over 25 talk radio programs and covered in several major media markets spreading word of the boycott. Over 12,000 people have signed the petition calling on the Executive Branch to enforce existing laws aimed at companies that hire, aid, and abet illegal aliens. Almost 1 million hits have been recorded on the boycott website at http://www.MillerBoycott.com
Coalition directors William Gheen of ALIPAC and Jason Mrochek of FIRE Coalition are announcing phase 2 of the boycott plan today!
“We are sending word to our extensive network today for citizen activists to begin spreading the word about the boycott using our online resources, such as bumper stickers, fliers, and e-mail templates.” says William Gheen. “We also hope to expand our list of supporting organizations up towards 150 groups!”
Jason Mrochek is gives a glimpse of Phase 3 which will include citizens protesting outside of Miller Brewing Company production plants and offices. “Shortly after the November elections, we plan to launch protests outside of their facilities coast to coast.” says Mrochek. “It is important for the communities close to these plants and the workers in these plants to know about our boycott that Miller Brewing supports illegal immigration.”

I don’t care for Miller beer anyway. The bottles look like urine samples and it tastes about how I imagine cold urine would taste.
