Miller Brewing Company Does Not Support Anti-Immigration Legislation
Miller Brewing Company

04/30/2006

There has been a great deal of attention recently around proposed anti-immigration legislation, specifically HR 4437, which is currently pending in Congress.

Miller Brewing Company opposes any legislation that would unfairly and unjustly seek to constrain immigration, including proposed HR 4437.

Miller was founded 151 years ago by a German immigrant, Frederick Miller. And today, we are part of an international company with employees from around the world. We support the free movement of people, labor, goods and services in the global economy with appropriate protections for the rights of individuals and families, the security of nations and the diversity that contributes to a rich and productive society.

In the wake of last week’s historic march in Chicago to uphold the civil and human rights of immigrants in this country, we immediately reached out to the community groups represented here today to make clear our joint opposition to this critical issue.

In productive discussions held yesterday, we agreed to:

1) Provide assistance to community efforts to reach out to specific members of the Senate and business associations in Washington D.C.
2) Make a clear public statement regarding our opposition to HR 4437 and our desire for appropriate immigration reform that provides adequate protection for the rights of undocumented immigrants.
3) Place print advertisements in Chicago and Milwaukee media stating our opposition to HR 4437.
4) Work with the organizations to explore opportunities for community-based partnerships with a particular focus on scholarships for undocumented students.

Miller is already active in helping immigrants learn how to become legally naturalized citizens of the U.S., through programs like the Miller Lite Immigration Forum in Texas.

We also have a long history of proudly supporting many national and local Hispanic organizations throughout the U.S.

We hope the entire Hispanic and immigrant community in Chicago will continue to responsibly enjoy Miller products with the knowledge that our company will continue to strongly support the Hispanic community and the rights of immigrants.
