Following is a summary of an Orlando WPTV article: 

A local television station WPTV noticed that Seddique Mateen, the father of the Pulse Nightclub shooter attended a Hillary Clinton rally in Kissimmee, Florida, being on camera seated directly behind her above her shoulder during her entire speech.

The television station caught up with Mateen after the rally and spoke with him briefly in the parking lot, and then later at a rest stop.

Mateen said, “Hillary Clinton is good for United States versus Donald Trump, who has no solutions.”

When he was asked about his decision to go to the event which was very close to the Pulse Nightclub, he said, “I spoke a lot about that and wish that my son joined the Army and fought ISIS.  That would be much better.”

When asked if Clinton knew he would be at at the event and sitting directly behind her, he said, “It’s a Democratic party, so everyone can join.”

Finally when he was asked if the thought if some people would be surprised to see him there, he said, “Why should they be surprised?  I love the United States, and I’ve been living here a long time.”

When the Clinton campaign was asked about his attendance, it responded in a tweet, “The rally was a 3,000-person, open-door event for the public.  This individual wasn’t invited as a guest and the campaign was unaware of his attendance until after the event.”

Following is a summary of this Brietbart article: 

A report by the EU’s asylum office said that Afghan parents are sending their children to Europe in large numbers in the hopes they will be granted asylum and then seek reunification with the rest of the families.  The report says that last year over 96,000 unaccompanied minors applied for asylum in the EU, which is four times as many as the previous year, and with the majority coming from Afghanistan.

Ward Lutin of the European Asylum Support Office (EASO) said the numbers coming from Afghanistan are “huge.”  He said, “Families send out their children, strategically, hoping that they will manage to get a status in Europe, and then use them as anchor children and be reunited with them.”

European countries have also been having many problems with adult migrants lying about being minors in order to take advantage of more lenient rules.  Problems arising from this include an incident where a 20 year old man in student accommodations raped a 13 year old girl.

Daham al-Hasan, a Syrian migrant who has claimed he is too sick to work or learn the language of his host country had tried to relocate from Denmark to Sweden in order to gain additional welfare support for his three wives and 20 children, however he then learned that conservatives had pushed Sweden to change their policy about supporting polygamous marriages.  He was seeking $150 per month per child, adding up to $60,000 per year in child support along with many other benefits including payments for disabilities of “having pain in his back and legs” that exempt him from working.

The above was summarized from a MadWorldNews article.   Also see a translated Fria Tider article.
