Britain risks becoming a hotel for the world’s criminals, warns Guy Dampier in the Telegraph, as new analysis by the Conservative Party reveals that illegal small boat immigrants are 24 times more likely to go to prison than the average British citizen. Here’s an excerpt.
Although the rate at which foreign nationals are sent to prison is only slightly higher than that for British nationals, the rate at which some nationalities are imprisoned is much higher. That includes nationalities which are among the largest groups of small boat arrivals, such as Afghans, Albanians, and Iranians.
Some 3.4% of small boat arrivals could go to prison, according to the research, which is 24 times higher than British nationals and 18 times higher than for all migrants. Not only is our asylum system being abused to allow foreign criminals to enter, it is being dominated by those groups of foreign nationals most likely to commit crime.
That means that around 700 of the 20,000 small boat arrivals this year could go to prison. As there is more crime than is ever detected or solved, and as many successfully prosecuted crimes do not result in a custodial sentence, the actual number of small boat migrants who commit a crime will be even higher than that. …
Among some nationalities, the rates are even higher. Based on prison data from March, 12% of all people with Somali passports in Britain are in jail.
This is only the latest data analysis to show the over-representation of some migrant groups when it comes to serious crime. Prior analysis by the Centre for Migration Control has found that foreign nationals accounted for over a quarter of sexual assaults on women that are successfully prosecuted. The top 10 nationalities for sexual assault of a woman included Iranians and Afghans, who are over-represented among small boat arrivals.
