Small midwestern town 'overwhelmed' by 3,000 African migrants living tax-free

A tiny Ohio town is wrangling with a sudden influx of African refugees whose arrival has almost doubled the population over the past year.
Close to Cincinnati, Lockland was home to 3,500 people in 2023, but local officials say it has since taken in more than 3,000 legal Mauritanian asylum seekers.
'If you look at 2021, 2022, the United States had seen a huge influx of immigrants from Mauritania,' Lockland Village Administrator Doug Wehmeyer told Fox News Digital.
'Somehow, a good number of them have landed in Lockland.'
TikTok is partly to blame for the sudden deluge. Mauritanians are finding their way to the town via a route posted on the app which flows from the Northwest African nation to Turkey, before looping through South America to the US.
The route passes through Managua, Nicaragua, where relaxed entry requirements allow Mauritanians and a handful of other foreign nationals to purchase a low-cost visa without proof of onward travel.

There should not be a single Harris voter in that town. But ai bet there is.
And therein lies the problem.
