An Afghan refugee was criticized after sharing photos of his free food rations given to him at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas.
Hamed Ahmadi wrote “Not complaining but this is what I got last night for dinner and the next meal is 12 hours later. Refugee life might be safe but never easy & favorable. Fort bliss El Paso Texas. #AfghanRefugees #afghanistan
“The point of that tweet was not … to be complaining, to be very critical,” he told The Independent. “I was just describing a situation of Afghan refugees that are in the situation that they never really wanted to be in.”

Andy Ngo replied “This is way healthier than what American school children get at state schools.
Amy Tarkanian replied “I was unable to reach a homeless veteran to ask how they like their free meals and free housing because they don’t get those things. Also they don’t have iPhones.”

So we rescued you from Afghanistan and are giving you food that the taxpayers are paying for and you have the nerve to complain?
In the words of @RealBrysonGray “if you don’t like this country you can leave”.

This is complaining. People from many nations died trying to improve your country and then to get you out - where you have freedom to complain. Think of them & those grieving for them before tweeting these complaints.

Show the full plate & try to be a little grateful to the country that has given you shelter. Ungrateful 🐷. @POTUS these are the kind of people you're taking in? All the best - make America great again 🤣
