    Fargo man awaits sentencing in illegal immigrant case


    Associated Press

    FARGO, N.D. - A man who runs a rail repair service here has pleaded guilty to harboring illegal immigrants.

    Court documents say Jesse Bledsoe, 51, agreed to forfeit $75,000 to the federal government under a plea agreement. A sentencing hearing is set for Oct. 6.

    Bledsoe's attorney, Lorelle Moeckel, said sentencing guidelines call for a sentence of between six months to just over a year.

    Authorities said a traffic stop near Lakota in November led to the arrest of 11 illegal immigrants who said they worked for Bledsoe Rail Service.

    This is probably the first article I've seen on ALIPAC from my hometown newspaper, The Grand Forks Herald.

    I was born and raised in Grand Forks, North Dakota. I left in 1986. I remember we were all Americans and we did all the work without illegal aliens. It's likely that there were a few illegals working in the fields but nothing is picked by hand, everything is mechanized. I never saw a field full of farm laborers. Potatoes, sugar beets, wheat, corn and soybeans are not picked by hand. Many of my relatives are farmers and I've worked in the fields myself.
