Newly released data has unveiled a shocking reality: between 2021 and 2023, over 104,000 foreign nationals were convicted in England and Wales, with violent crime, sexual assault, drugs, and theft making up a significant portion of offenses.
The findings, obtained through FOI requests by the Centre for Migration Control, have reignited fierce debate over the consequences of mass migration and the government’s failure to address the issue.
Foreign nationals were behind nearly a quarter of all sexual offence convictions—despite making up less than 10% of the population. Conviction rates among Afghans and Eritreans were alarmingly high, with both groups more than 20 times more likely to be convicted of a sexual crime than British nationals. Meanwhile, Albanians topped the list for overall crime rates per capita, followed by Moldova, Congo, Namibia, and Somalia.
Rob Bates, the Centre for Migration Control’s research director, condemned the government’s inaction, calling for the immediate deportation of all convicted foreign criminals. He warned that the Home Office’s failure to act has put British citizens at risk, turning the country into a haven for offenders.
The report comes as Britain faces an ongoing border crisis, with record numbers of illegal Channel crossings. Last week alone, 592 migrants arrived in a single day—raising further doubts about the Labour government’s weak immigration policies. Critics argue that unless stricter deportation and border enforcement measures are implemented, the situation will only worsen.
