According to new Census Bureau data, the number of foreign-born people in the U.S. has reached its highest level in over 100 years, with over half of them from Latin America.

The Washington Examiner reports the Pew Research Center analysis showed that the last 50 years have seen the biggest surge in immigration into the U.S. since before the Civil War.

There are about 45 million foreign-born in the U.S., which is about 14 percent of the total population.

Pew said Latin Americans make up about half of that, “including the majority of unauthorized immigrants."

Pew also said that most Latinos feel the number of foreigners in the US is just about right, and 14 percent said America needs more.
