----whole commercial 84 Lumber

By far one of the worst Super Bowl commercial's this year. Why is this company promoting ILLEGALS coming to our country? The mother and girl left a home and what appears to be a father/grandfather before their "journey" to the U.S....... Hope this company receives a lot of backlash.

Don't like it? Watch CNN during the game and show your protest.
Ivanka's shoes are not selling. Why carry them? It's a BUSINESS decision.

I had a pair of her shoes and they fell apart. Now she's going to have her stuff made in Africa because it is cheaper than China. Are you kidding me?

I'll pay a bit more and get Italian-made shoes that last.

Gag me,so 84 Lumber built a nice wall for the Lady and her daughter to walk through. I noticed the very nice smiling Coyotes that helped her and her daughter out. In reality the Coyotes would have charged them a $1000 each or had them work it off in the worse ways. Commercials and companies like that only serve notice to "Everyone" around the world to come to America and you will automatically become citizens.

A building supply company condoning illegal immigration? All the US citizen tradesmen whose jobs have been taken and whose wages have been cut by the extensive use of illegal aliens in their industries sure aren't going to like that.

What an idiotic misread of those who use their product.

84 Lumber deserves a massive boycott and whoever was responsible for the commercial should be fired.

What if we could have a Superbowl and enjoy it without injecting politics into it?
What if these damn sponsers just spent their money on advertising their products instead of their politics?
Well, for one thing... the supreme court told us that corporations have the same rights to make political statements as do individuals. Ya gotta take it all, not just the part you want.

Pretty sure Trump will tell you that those judges don't know anything.

Nah just good business sense trying to keep politics out of a sporting event.

Talk about hypocrisy, look to the loons who violated freedom of speech at Berzerkly.
Like I said, if this was some pro-Trump commercial, you'd be losing it.

Its funny what people read into things. Neither of these commercial explicitly said, one way or the other, which side of the debate the companies fell on. But you assume it must be the leftist bent. I wonder why that is.
