Who accepts the most refugees in the world?

I found this site today and it presents the world map resized based on certain categories.  Have a look around and you’ll see some interesting results.

One that caught my eye is the map that shows the world on the basis of the amount of refugees that we accept.  You’d think with all the political rhetoric about refugees in this country, we’d be a bloated mass of land under Asia.

Wrong.

We rank very poorly.  We hardly accept anyone.  Makes you wonder given the amount of money and media time we spend on “the refugee crisis”.

Can anyone say Spin Doctor?
