Refugees

1. 18-24 months typically.
2. 110,000 refugees.
3. Burma and Iraq.
4. 39,000 Muslim refugees.
5. California, Texas, and New York.
6. The first observation that caught my eye was that Europe had the most refugees in the 1990s, a lot more than anyone else and there are hardly any from there now. The second was that the amount of refugees from Africa has risen slowly but steadily over the years. The third is why did the amount of refugees go down so drastically in the late 1970s?
7. One, that there are so many Christians that seek refuge here. Two, that there are so many others.
8. Because we've become much more accepting of other cultures, and that we were in some sort of standoff or war or battle with the three others, but not Albanians.
9. It has shifted from Europe to Africa to Asia. Bhutan.
10. Ukranian refugees just popped up in the northwest heavy. Wyoming almost has no refugees most years. Most of the Midwestern states all have the same country that leads refugee counts. 
11. 50,000 refugees.
12. March was the lowest month in pretty much all the states.
13. 60 million.
14. 12.5 million.
15. Norway and Switzerland.

No, I believe that the US does not necessarily have an obligation to help other countries. It might be nice if we helped them but I feel like there is no obligation there. When we provide aid to those people and countries, we then feel obligated to continue helping them after helping once or twice, sucking us in and forcing us to be there helping forever.
