Welp, we may have just discovered a surprising new benefit to the government shutting down and SNAP benefits running out...

...Self deportations!

Without the government support, I cannot stay maybe month or two month.

Yup, a local news report from Arizona featured an Iraqi refugee named Bakr Rajab warning members of a county board of supervisors that without government support, he might only be able to stay in America more than 1 or 2 months.

In the full video, county leaders expressed they are "deeply concerned about the impact [the expiration of SNAP will have] on local refugees."

Reactions online rolled in:

So yeah, this is what you call a "win-win."
