But not from outside the EU. Europe in total is still smaller than the US.
If yoz want an accurate comparison, you have to imagine the EU as one country and the members as states, or the US as a union and the US states as countries.
Those are all still separate countries though. I don't see how their size relative to the US is relevant. The countries have agreements amongst themselves that include an open border policy. There is no 'natural' reason why such agreements can't be expanded, or implemented elsewhere.
Not disagreeing with you there. Just that the argument of comparison to the US is lacking.
Why does size matter? What exactly changes? If every country joined the EU. What then?
