While Anheuser-Busch has agreed to the deal at $70 a share deal 2 weeks ago, It's still not a done deal. Not only does the SEC have to approve the sale but the share holders get to vote. Also it seems "Anheuser-Busch owns a 50% share in Grupo Modelo, which said in a statement that its relationship with Anheuser-Busch gives it consent rights to the deal."

They are buying it for more than the shares of BUD are worth so I don't think you can count on shareholders to stop the deal.
Besides Miller beer is already owned by a South African company. What difference does it make if Bud is owned by a foreign entity?
