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%)
7/ Much has been made of Sweden's rape epidemic since 2015. However, a study found that even prior to the 2015 migrant crisis, 60% of rapists were of an immigrant background, with half being born outside of Sweden
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.
22/ It’s worth noting that homicides perpetrated by non-White groups are more likely to occur in the street, whereas White homicides tend to be located in domestic settings
27/ Following widespread riots during Halloween the previous year in Austria, refugees were relocated to other accommodation and enrolled in "special value courses." These courses were designed to acquaint migrants with the Austrian "values and norms."
29/ Data from the Interior Ministry in Italy revealed that in the first 6 months of 2018, 32% of criminals were foreign born, despite only accounting for 8% of the population
31/ In Spain, 45.6% of sexual assaults were committed by foreigners in 2021 and 20% of those arrested originate from Africa, despite only representing 2.4% of the population
32/ Whenever anyone makes a claim that "It is simply wrong to link immigration to criminality," show them the data in this thread.
Do not let them get away with such deleterious lies.
33/ Here is a similar thread of mine which challenges the frequently repeated media narrative that immigration is economically beneficial for European nations
1/ You learn about these cases, then remember that the Home Office tried to deport a 7/7 bombing survivor and a man who can trace his British ancestry back to the 14th century.
This is the strange case of the deportation of Professor John Tulloch...
2/ Professor John Tulloch is a sociology professor who, after surviving the 7/7 terrorist attacks, was interviewed by newspapers such as The Guardian in 2007.
3/ Five years later, the Home Office and UK Border Agency (UKBA) seized his passport and demanded his deportation.
Why?
Because he was born in India during the British Raj, making him a "British subject without citizenship."
1/ A French think tank has estimated that the significantly lower employment rate of immigrants compared to French nationals results in an economic cost equivalent to approximately 3.4% of France’s GDP
In this thread, I will present further insights on immigration in France
🧵
2/ France has experienced something of its own Boriswave.
After COVID, the number of European migrants dropped precipitously, while the numbers of African and Asian migrants have increased
3/ African foreign nationals are 2-8 times overrepresented for a multiple of crime categories.
2/ Khani is an Iranian who was granted asylum in Germany during the 80s.
The country that offered him refuge has also honoured him with literary awards for his debut novel, noted for its 'blending the melancholy of Iranian prose with the hardness of Afro-American rap.'
Very cool for a 45-year-old man.
3/ On NYE '22 in an Arab area of Berlin, violence broke out and over 30 emergency staff and police officers were injured.
Reports showed that fire trucks were lured into the neighbourhood then attacked with fireworks and projectiles.
2/ Fraser cites a survey as evidence to argue that crime has gone down over the last decade.
However, despite the COVID dip, recorded crime in London has risen by 21.5% during this period
3/ Fraser also shows the murder rate is down
However, the reason murder rates are down is largely due to medical advancements in trauma care.
A study from Harvard found that murder rates would be five times higher if not for these medical developments. The authors said they'd expect a similar trend in Britain.
Additionally, the widespread use of mobile phones has played a significant role in improving emergency responses.
Seven of the passengers listed nursing as their occupation. Assuming all seven went on to work for the NHS in its first years, they would represent just 0.01% of the nursing workforce.
Even 17 years later, only 2% of NHS nurses were from the Jamaica.
3/ "The veterans who returned after fighting for freedom after WWII"
While noble, only 0.25% of British WWII veterans were from the Caribbean, and very few made it to the frontline.
To put it in context, there were almost 10 times more Polish soldiers serving with the British Armed Forces in WWII
