Practical Topics: The United States has resettled more than 600,000 refugees from 60
(04 Hours) different countries since 2006. Download the department of Homeland
Security’s annual count of people granted refugee status between2006-
2015. Use ggplot, Illustrator, Inkscape, or Gravit Designer to explore
where these refugees have come from by handling Personal
Identifiable Information (PII), if any.
