A staggering 47,923 Germans citizens were victims of migrant-perpetrated crimes such as murder, rape, robbery, and assault last year, according to statistics recently published by Germany‘s Federal Criminal Police Office, which represents an 18 percent increase on the previous year.
The statistics also reveal the most dangerous individuals are those who have their asylum claims rejected by the government, alongside migrants from North African coastal countries, such as Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia. Despite comprising just 0.8 percent of all immigrants in the country, they account for 8.5 percent of all migrants suspected of criminality.
In contrast, 12,061 foreigners were victims of crimes committed by German citizens. However, the country does not differentiate between ethnic Germans and those of a migrant background, either born in the country or who went on to obtain a passport.
As a result, Germans are four times more likely to be attacked by migrants than vice versa, according to the data.
The rate of violent crime committed by migrants against Germans is “frightening,” according to the chairman of the Federal Police Union, Heiko Teggatz. “What many have always suspected has now been proven.”
“There is no more room for whitewashing. The federal and state governments must now act consistently and exhaust all possibilities to deport such criminals,” he adds.
Simultaneously, foreign nationals are also far more likely to receive state welfare than German citizens, with the country having spent nearly $150 billion on migrant welfare since 2010.
