Exclusive footage from Lockland, Ohio, alleges a network exploiting asylum rules: migrants from Mauritania are coached, paperwork is funneled through intermediaries, and an individual on camera claims judges and lawyers can be paid to bend rulings.
The video raises blunt, uncomfortable claims about how a handful of actors have turned asylum and work-permit processes into a cash business. It centers on Patricia Golder, who is shown describing a system of paperwork, job placement, and cash flow that critics say corrodes oversight. The footage points at local vulnerabilities and suggests official safeguards are being sidestepped.
In the tape, Golder is introduced by a woman identified as Cindy Reis, and Reis tells the undercover reporter exactly how the operation appears to work. “She gets them their papers. She does,” Reis says before introducing the reporter to Golder. “He knows about Mulberry Street.”
Golder answers in plain language about the help she provides and the cash that changes hands. “I try to work with them the best I can,” Golder says. The footage captures routine admissions that many people being helped lack lawful status and are guided toward work and paperwork anyway.
Conversations in the video lay out how paperwork and cash mix to create labor and benefits streams for migrants. “Some of them have papers, some don’t,” Golder says, and for those without, “we pay them cash.” She also explains ways to make unofficial authorizations appear legitimate: “And then, we can make an authorization where you say they volunteer, and you pay them.”
Golder claims she signs for migrants to get them on payrolls at larger employers, but she refuses to name those companies because of fears about ICE enforcement. “I have to say I can’t do that…that’s because of the threat of ICE, so they don’t want me to leak, because ICE would go there and take them away. ICE don’t play,” Golder says. The reporting shows a willingness to hide details to protect the operation.
The recorded accounts describe dangerous and expensive migration routes. Golder explains the trek: “They come through the Panama Canal, and they walk under the ground,” Golder explains. “Many people died, many people lived.” She also cites the cost of the crossing: it could run “as much as $5,000” to reach the United States.
The business model she outlines mixes paperwork, Social Security maneuvers, and packaged job placements. “This is how I do my business,” Golder explains. “You start work for me, you have agreement you have to sign, and if you broke this agreement that’s on you”
Part of her routine is obtaining work permits, then converting that data into Social Security applications that arrive at her address. “You put the eight number right there, and then Social Security will mail you their card, so all cards come to me,” Golder says. “So when they get their card, you issue their card on payday. You give it to them.”
That same process leads to IDs and even citizenship paperwork, Golder claims she handles. “I fill out their citizenship papers,” she says. “Just like what me do for me brother.” She describes tactics for keeping duplicate or suspicious filings moving through 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 says she charges a cut on wages and benefits as compensation for arranging jobs and paperwork. “They need jobs,” Golder says. “I just get them jobs, they find way to go work.”
“Hospital pays $24 an hour, I pay $20. Every $4 off of every hour is mine,” she adds. “That’s how I get my pay.” She admits to taking slices of veterans’ assistance after filing their claims: “Just anything they get, me get 30,” Golder says. “A third of everything to me come home.” “If they get $10,000, a third is mine,” she says.
The most explosive claims involve judges and the courts. Golder frames access as a pay-to-play scheme: “If I can get to the judge,” Golder says, “You know, that’s the only person you want to talk to is the judge.” She describes casually approaching judges in social settings and asking about their schedules: “I make conversation with them. You say, ‘I have this boy there and I need help. You work that day?'”
According to Golder, a judge’s price is steep but straightforward. “Okay, $50,000 I send everybody to you.” She expands on how she raises that money from migrants: “Oh no, n*****, you gotta come back and help me,” she says. “I’m gonna come back and say watch out, we have this deadline. We need $50,000. And then the list, me look, count them down, calculating. You give me this, give me this…gotta pay the money. Me have 40 men, but a $50,000? So everybody gotta pay $1,200.”
Golder names apps and prepaid services she claims are used to obscure payments, and she uses blunt language about their usefulness. “And you can’t track it…nobody gonna watch that,” Golder says. She even calls the instruments “fraud cards.”
Lawyers are part of the picture, she insists, serving as the bridge to judges. “You has to have a lawyer who can go to the judge,” Golder says, “because you know that’s the one who talks to the judge is the lawyer.” She describes the negotiation: “You get the lawyer and you say, ‘Okay, we have this sheet of paper. I need you to ask the judge how much to carry these people two more year in this country? Probably until we get this project done.’ He say, ‘Okay, give me $50,000.'”
Golder closes by insisting the system is interconnected and that targeting one official can unlock results. “Any of them, just get one judge,” she says. “All of them talk. That’s what you have to understand. Every one of them talking to each other.” The footage offers a raw, on-the-ground claim set that demands scrutiny and swift enforcement.
Editor’s Note: Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left’s lies, new legislation wasn’t needed to secure our border, just a new president.
