Budweiser is one of the big players when it comes to Super Bowl commercials. This year, the company went for an ad tackling one of the most topical (and contentious) issues in America at the moment: immigration.

In the company's words, "This is the story of our founder's ambitious journey to America in pursuit of his dream: to brew the King of Beers." Although the ad doesn't weigh in on the current state of immigration, it's hard to ignore the timing.
