It's just a shame that you don't have the reading comprehension to enable you to recognize that the point of the article WAS NOT to dispute the percentage of food stamps given to a particular race, it was to point out that those figures were not the percentage of people MAKING UP our distribution of food stamps.
Here, let me educate you further as I would a third grader:
FACT: 45.6% of Afghan refugees receive food stamps.
That IS NOT the same as saying that 45.6% of our US food stamp allotment goes to Afghan refugees.
THAT is the point of the article, you **** moron!
Are you bright enough to understand the difference, or are you needing to be left back in grammar school again?
45.6% of Afghan refugees receive food stamps is likely based on a misleading or viral chart, according to a recent Al Jazeera fact-check. This number appeared on a chart showing that Afghan people were the largest group receiving SNAP benefits, followed by Somali and Iraqi refugees. However, this figure is likely a misrepresentation, as a 2024 report from the Department of Health and Human Services found that 21% of refugees and asylum seekers received SNAP benefits between 2005 and 2019, compared to 15% of all U.S. residents.
- The 45.6% figure: This number likely originated from a viral chart that was being fact-checked in late October 2025, notes Al Jazeera.
- Broader refugee statistics: A Department of Health and Human Services report cited by ABC News found that 21% of all refugees and asylum seekers received SNAP benefits between 2005 and 2019.
