That's especially true for certain nationalities—and for certain crimes.
(H/T @Marc_Vanguard_i)
In 2022, @RCInvestigates published a study of EU homicide data and migration rates from 2010-2020.
They found that "each one percentage point increase in immigrant population is associated with a 3.6 percent increase in the homicide rate."
Here's what it looks like in Sweden:
Immigrants and their children are 33% of Sweden's population. But from 2013-2017, they were 58% of all crime suspects.
For murder/attempted murder and manslaughter, they were a whopping 73%.
They were 2.2X more likely than natives to be suspected of rape. For murder, it was 4X.
In Denmark, non-Western immigrants and their descendants have an approximately 3.5 times higher rate of violent crime than native Danes.
Again, that disparity increases substantially when you break it down by nationality—even when you adjust for age, sex and year.
The same is true in Norway in Finland.
In Norway, immigrants from places like Afghanistan, Somalia and Iraq are over 3X more likely to commit violent crime, relative to the native population.
In Finland, that disparity is even higher.
In the Netherlands, non-Western immigrants make up 14% of the population. But as a share of crime suspects, they comprise:
Sexual offenses: ~35%
Assaults: ~40%
Violent thefts: ~60%
The disparity between natives and foreigners holds even after controlling for socioeconomics.
The euphemistically-termed "grooming gangs" issue isn't just in Britain.
A report published last year by the Dutch government found that almost three-quarters of perpetrators of domestic sexual exploitation were either foreign-born or children of foreign-born.
In Italy, government figures from 2022 show that nearly *half* of *all* youth crime is committed by the foreign-born—despite the fact that they make up just over 10% of that demographic.
The foreign-born share of crime in Italy jumped nearly 10X from 1990-2009.
In major European cities like Paris—which have been totally transformed by mass migration—the numbers are even more stark.
Paris has one of the largest concentrations of immigrants in Europe. 41% of Parisians under the age of 20 have at least one foreign-born parent.
In Switzerland, the foreign-born make up 26% of the total population. But as a share of crime suspects, they are:
Homicides: 44%
Rapes: 47%
Assaults: 45%
Afghan/Pakistani migrants are 3X more likely than natives to be convicted of a crime. Africans are 5X more likely.
In Austria, foreigners are responsible for 40% of all crime. In major cities like Vienna, they commit more than half of all crime.
And again—unsurprisingly—a few specific groups are punching way above their weight class.
Finally: In Spain, the foreign-born make up just 12% of the population. But as a share of crime suspects, they are:
Homicides: 32%
Rape: 39%
Armed Robbery: 47%
Foreigners are 3.6X more likely than native-born Spaniards to be accused of homicide, and 4.7X more likely for rape.
Watch our documentary on how third world immigration is transforming small-town America here:
The authorities were so committed to denying that any one group was to blame for this behavior—and so determined to smear anyone who suggested otherwise—that people's "fear of being seen as racist" actually "hindered the detection of and intervention in abuse."
Here's the (left-wing!) British journalist who did one of the first investigations into the scandal, writing in 2017:
"Despite the quality of material I had amassed, it took me until 2007 to get my first piece published because some editors feared an accusation of racism."
This is a serious—even existential—problem in red America.
Any conservative who's done work at the state level knows that the deep-red states often have the most egregiously liberal Republicans. This is something @RMConservative talks about a lot:
This is true across the board, on any number of key issues. It's something I discovered almost immediately after getting into politics. My first few big breaks were investigative pieces about the mind-bogglingly bad state of local GOPs in the deepest-red parts of the country.
Nestled in southwestern Pennsylvania’s Mon Valley—about 30 miles from Pittsburgh—Charleroi is a poor, primarily white working-class community.
Less than 18% of the residents have a bachelor’s degree, and the median household income is less than $45,000 a year.
The town was once fed by the region’s booming steel industry, and a glass-making plant based in Charleroi itself—a creation of the Belgian immigrants who settled there.
As late as the 1990s, locals say it was still a wonderful small town to grow up in:
The Guardian's Jason Wilson just wrote a hit piece about me and @America_2100.
Just to give you a sense of how sloppy it was: It's only been up since this morning, but they’ve already had to issue two corrections.
These are the questions he emailed me yesterday. Beyond parody:
The hit was supposed to be about our reporting in Charleroi, Pennsylvania—where we've spent the past week, on the ground, reporting on the consequences of a flood of Haitian immigrants into the small working-class town. (See below).
But Wilson couldn't even do the bare minimum research for his reporting. For example—this morning, when the piece went live, it claimed that we had "only recorded interviews with older white residents of the town."
This how every single argument for mass immigration goes.
Step 1: "Oh, you have concerns about [X group] coming into your country? Well, here's one person from that group who's good. What do you think of that, huh? Do you hate this person, too??"
[when presented with evidence that said person isn't representative of said group writ large]
Step 2: Actually, all those bad things you just mentioned are America's fault. And anyways, it's good for them to come here. I don't have to explain why. It just is.
[no, I think that would probably be bad for us]
Step 3: Honestly, who even is "us"? Who is "we"? Does America even exist? Do you know what America is? Because other people think America's something else. So how can you be so sure that America is anything at all?
