The most recent published figures we have for foreign born UK population is from the 2011 census where it’s at 16%. Given the very high levels of immigration we’ve had over the last 15 years coupled with the historically low British born people having children in the same period, it’s certainly going to be higher than that today but without reliable figures it’s impossible to give a firm percentage.

The prison population is about 15% foreign born, which is already below the gross average of the general population, there’s also the issue that there’s a higher proportion of immigration among younger males who are disproportionate more likely to commit crimes.

The fact that the foreign born prison population is so low is actually proof of how foreign born individuals actually commit crimes at a significantly lower rate than their British born equivalents.

But don’t let a few things like that get in the way of your righteous anger though…
