As President Obama looks to accept thousands of Syrian refugees now flooding into Europe, a new Senate report finds that the United States already has 10 million more foreign-born citizens than all of the European Union.

The report found that the U.S. immigrant population totals 45.8 million compared to 35 million in the EU, where nations are starting to shut their borders to the Syrian refugees. And even adding in the 7.7 million immigrants in Latin America, the United States has more than all 21 Latin and 27 European Union nations combined.
