An inconvenient German fact for the refugee haters

[Tinark]

Germany recorded an almost 10 per cent drop in crime last year to its lowest level since the early 1990s despite perceptions that the arrival of more than a million asylum seekers would lead to a rise in offences.

…Overall, violent crime was down by 1.7 per cent last year, the Interior Ministry said

Among all non-German suspects, rape and serious sexual assault fell last year to 2,421 cases from 2,512 in 2016. Overall crime reported fell by 9.6 per cent to its lowest level since 1992.

Where is all the crime that was predicted by the anti immigration/refugee crowd? Crime dropped, including crimes committed by non-Germans!

From the article:

"In fact crimes committed by immigrants from outside the EU fell sharply, the government said, mainly because of a dramatic cut in asylum seekers crossing the border illegally."


So cutting down illegal border crossings reduces crime.
