10% of crime committed by immigrants

A tenth of all crime in some parts of Britain is now committed by eastern European immigrants, shocking new figures reveal.

Police figures for the worst-affected areas show one in ten of all those arrested have come to the UK from the eight former Soviet states which joined the EU in 2004 - sending a massive wave of 600,000 immigrants flocking to this country.

The figures emerged as a leaked Whitehall memo warned of an eastern European crime explosion on Britain's streets once Romania and Bulgaria become the latest states to join the EU in two months time.

The secret Cabinet Office paper sent to Tony Blair and senior ministers highlights the risk of a sharp rise in street violence, people-trafficking, prostitution, cash-machine thefts and fraud.

The document claims that Romanian crime gangs are behind an astonishing "80-85 per cent" of cash machine crime in Britain - even before the country joins the EU.

Romania and Bulgaria have a combined population of 30million, and it is estimated that up to 600,000 could head for Britain when they gain free movement within the EU on January 1 - including 45,000 known "undesirables" with links to crime.

I don’t have the figures for 2005 but in 2004 there were 5.6 million incidents of crime, which means that foreigners commit 560,000 crimes

According to official figures there are 1.5 million immigrants in this country. Lets say that crime decreased to 5 million and 500,000 of it was done by immigrants (to make it easier for me). This would mean that for every 3 immigrants there is a crime committed.

Are open boarders worth it when all we get is the worst people mankind can offer?
