1/ "It is simply wrong to link immigration to criminality."
In this thread, I will present overwhelming evidence demonstrating the significant correlation between immigration and criminality
🧵👇
2/ This data represents the proportion of first-generation immigrants in European prisons.
In nearly every nation, migrants are significantly overrepresented, a trend observed without considering second and third-generation migrants.

3/ Let's start with Sweden, who accepted the highest number of refugees p/c during the 2015 migrant crisis
As a result, it is now the only European nation experiencing an increase in fatal gun crimes since the turn of the century, with rates 2.5x higher than the European average
4/ An investigation showed that only 15% of gun crime is committed by ethnic Swedes:
🔴Foreign born (41%)
🟤Domestic-born with two foreign parents (35%)
⚫️Domestic-born with one foreign-born parent (9%)
⚪️Domestic-born with domestic-born parents (15%)

5/ 62% of the foreign-born perpetrators in come from the Middle-East or the Horn of Africa
The most common countries of birth among those born abroad are Iraq, Somalia, Syria, the former Yugoslavia and Turkey

6/ Urban explosives have become an newly imported criminal phenomenon. There were 257 crimes involving explosives 2019, a 60% rise on 2018

8/ The chart below shows that Africans are most likely commit rape, whereas MENAPT are more likely to commit assault rape
Alarmingly, an Algerian is 122x more likely to commit aggravated rape than a Swede and an Afghan is 69x more likely

9/ Of the 25 nationalities that rated highest in sexual assault, only one (Belarus) was a European country
Men of non-European origin commit 84% of assault rapes despite only making up around 10% of the population
10/ A Swedish newspaper revealed that 73% of gang rapists between the years of 2012–2017 were born abroad.
Asylum seekers accounted for 30% of the rapists and only 11% were born to Swedish-born parents
aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/rLKw…
11/ SVT (Swedish BBC) revealed that 75% of assault rapes were committed by non-Europeans & 40% of those having only lived in Sweden for 1 year

12/ Crime has gotten so bad in Sweden, two migrant men who were convicted of murder were set free due to a lack of prison space [1]

13/ Here is data from Denmark, showing the violent crime rate expressed in multiples of the Danish conviction rate adjusted for demographic factors
The same trends are evident again, with MENAPT migrants committing violent crime at a far higher rate

14/ A study into crime rates in Finland and Norway found similar trend with Africans and Middle-Eastern migrants committing significantly higher rates than native, Western and some Asian populations.

16/ A Finnish study from 2021 found that in 2020, first generation migrants accounted for 37.5% of rapes and 17.8% of child abusers despite only being 7% of the population.

17/ A study in Finland showed controlling for sociodemographic factors only reduces crime by 25-35%
African & Middle-Eastern migrants have 10-fold higher rates of rape after controlling for demographic factors
helda.helsinki.fi/server/api/cor…

20/ ONS data shows that the 13/18 ethnic groups have a higher arrest rate than the White British demographic.
The Black Other arrest rate is 7.6 times higher than the native population
