Mass migration has “led to a spike in violence against women and girls”, has been warned.
Police arrested more than 9,000 foreign nationals for sexual offences in the first 10 months of last year, making up 26.1% of the total sex crimes.
Analysis by the Centre for Migration Control, of official figures, said foreigners were 3.5 times more likely to be arrested for sex offences as British people, with nearly 165 arrests per 100,000 of the migrant population against 48 per 100,000 for Britons.
For all crimes, foreign nationals were arrested at twice the rate of British nationals, accounting for 131,000 of the arrests from January to October 2024.

Robert Bates, Research Director at the Centre for Migration Control said: “Mass migration has made us all less safe, and in particular has led to a spike in violence against women and girls.
“We have intuitively known this for a long time, but the Home Office has refused to publish the data to verify this fact.
“We now need a serious national conversation about how to address the huge crisis that is on our doorstep. We cannot hide from these statistics.
“Any foreign national who is found to have broken the law should be removed without question.
“The Home Office has been too concerned with appeasing open-border lobbyists that it has forgotten its first duty is to keep the British public safe. Mass migration is a radical policy platform that is tearing at the very fabric of our society. It is not too late to reverse this catastrophic state of affairs.”
The 9,055 foreign national arrests for sex offences works out at a rate of 164.6 per 100,000 of the population, compared with 25,680 arrests of Britons – a rate of 48 per 100,000.
Former Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick demanded ministers publish more data on crimes committed by migrants.
He said: “To establish an immigration and criminal justice system that serves the interests of the British public, policy makers need this information. There is not a single good reason why the Ministry of Justice shouldn’t publish this in full, completely transparently, on a regular basis.”
Romanians committed the most crimes in the first 10 months of 2024, police records show.
Some 11,678 Romanian were arrested by officers, followed by 9,583 Poles, 5,665 Albanians, 5,414 Indians, 4,171 Pakistanis, 3,317 Nigerians, 3,253 Lithuanians and 3,000 Iranians.
But once the size of respective populations are factored in, Albanians had the highest arrest rate at 209.8 arrests per 1,000 of their population followed by Afghans (106.9), Iraqis (92.9), Algerians (72.7), Moroccans (70) and Somalis (64.6). The rate for British suspects was 12.
A Labour spokesman said: “A quick reminder to the former secretary of state that the Ministry of Justice already publishes the data on convicted foreign nationals serving in our prisons, just like Denmark. He clearly needs to spend more time thinking and learning about his brief.
“Leave the Government to implement our plan for change and smashing the criminal gangs. We’ve already removed over 13,000 in our first few months in office, which is 14 per cent more foreign national offenders from our prisons than did.”
