Rubashkin and three co-defendants have pleaded not guilty to immigration, bank fraud, wire fraud and mail fraud charges. What a joke. these guys are totally guilty on all counts. And they already dropped the human traficking and identity theft charges.

These folks don't have passports. That said, I am most definitely for these leeches to hit the road.

I meant the managers should get shipped to Mexico, and their passports revoked so they can't get back into the US (legally).

Daily Horoscope for January 6

Scorpio

Don't let yourself be caught up in a crowd mentality. Just because someone else makes a major production out of what should be a simple matter, doesn't necessarily mean that it has to affect you adversely. You might be able to bring down the volume with a tap on the shoulder and a meaningful look. Even though it might not seem like it, your cool head is definitely appreciated at times like this.
