An exclusive report from Townhall reveals a massive immigration fraud scheme in a small suburb just outside of Cinncinati, OH. Illegal immigrants are being coached on how to navigate the asylum system and fabricate claims to attain asylum status. And judges are bribed to give favorable rulings on immigration status.
Lockland, Ohio is a small suburb of Cinncinati. It has a population of 3,514 and the mayor is Mark Matson, a Republican. The name of the undercover journalist is not given, but the video was posted to Townhall Editor Larry O’Connor’s YouTube channel.
According to Townhall, Patricia Golder and Cindy Reis have been working together to help Mauritanian migrants acquire legal status. Golder said that she is able to get these migrants work at large companies, but did not name them.
Both appear to be aware that they are working with illegal aliens.
“You gotta work under the radar,” said Reis.
“They dno’t have the papework,” said Golder.
“I thought they were legal, people were telling me they were legal,” said the undercover reporter.
“Heck no!” replied Golder.
Social Security Numbers
Golder helps illegal aliens get Social Security numbers. After an illegal alien gets a work permit, Golder has them file the paperwork for a Social Security number. With their new SSN, Golder then helps them attain a driver’s license.
If the SSN application is rejected, Golder knows how to game the system: She sends the applications to different offices.
“If you know…this guy [is] not named that person, but he’s using that person’s name, if you send this to Cleveland, you’re going to have to send the other one to Cincinnati,” Golder told the journalist.
Bribing Judges
Golder has been actively bribing judges to make favorable immigration rulings. The bribes have been for as much as $50,000. She meets them by visiting bars where the judges drink.
“I visit those places. I make conversation with them. You say, ‘I have this boy there and I need help. You work that day?'” Golder told the journalist.
According to Golder, the judge said “Yeah. Okay, $50,000” to which Golder tells the judge “[For] $50,000 I send everybody to you.”
The Tip of the Iceberg
It is clear that illegal aliens are gaming the US Immigration system with the assistance of US citizens. And if this is happening in a small town in Ohio, it is certainly happening elsewhere. Our immigration system is broken, and is being used by hostile nations to affect our elections.
The 2026 Midterms will be a crossroads: either we will win safe majorities in the House and Senate and codify Voter ID, border security and a host of other issues, or President Trump will be impeached and hamstrung for the final two years of his term. As you can see, the fight is not just in big cities, but in small towns all across America.
This is a war for the soul of our country, and the fate of the American Republic is in your hands. This election season, every concerned citizen is a soldier. If we are to win, we must mobilze to knock on doors, canvass for candidates and volunteer for Republican campaigns across the country. Contact your county and state level parties and see how you can help, as these organizations are often starved of volunteers.
The American Republic is not in the hands of President Trump, but yours.
