Make that 1000 or so less one, and the sky did fall for this poor girl and her family, as this resttled Syrian absconded back to Turkey whilst on trial, and still in possession of his passport, via the usually lax UK border control, after drugging her with methadone, and raping her in Chester. A nice thank you to to the UK for giving him refuge. The media is awash with reports of migrants committing serious crimes across Europe, let's not pretend they only commit a balanced percentage of crime.

Congrats, Chris. You've found a crime report in the Daily Mail where the perpetrator happened to fit your bias. Almost like you've Googled for it to attempt to build a Trump Jr. Skittles case out of tabloid clippings! Wonderful stuff to base policy on. Tremendous!
To put it in perspective, that's:
0.0028% of all rapes.
9.4 x 10^-4 of all rapes and other sexual offences combined!
I'm rounding to make the numbers look bigger. The rate for the native born, white population is also higher, as are the absolute numbers compared to those originating in the Middle East. Digging into MOJ's data, well, what do we find for violence against the person and sexual offences, for first-time, recent offenders (though the trend holds for repeat offenders and the rest in terms of being skewed towards people born here)?
130 to 1 on the first count.
48 to 1 on the second count.
You'll have better luck convincing me that DM's readership are a bunch of violent sods. We are out-napping and out-raping them aliens, dear boy, by a long shot! Not that it's an achievement to be particularly proud of.
That's for crime categories in the thousands for a population of 65 million. Although all such crimes are deplorable, we do contribute our taxes to the police and justice system precisely because crime -- amazingly -- does occur without regard for race, culture or religion, and no system of managing human behaviour in a free country (though dictatorships don't do a better job either, considering the uprisings and internal terror they either inspire or cause, or just don't record data!) is without fault.
But given the balance of risks, the crime rate and the effects it has on society in perspective -- should we carry out our humanitarian obligations? Yes. If you're that terrified by uncertainty however, I recommend not leaving the house, avoiding surgery appointments, not working with people and staying far away from any roads.
Hmm, I'm pretty sure the sky isn't falling, Chris, and, for the time being at least, we have the European Arrest Warrant to seek out all those who break the law and abscond from trial. Extradition treaties cover the rest, including Turkey.
I'm quite happy to see more resources go into the relevant agencies (we decided, of our own sovereign will, to cut and restructure the Border Force, policing, etc, under the current PM's tenure at the HO, for one, remember?), too, and better tracking of migrant data. But something tells me you aren't at all concerned about that and, like for most things, Brexit comes first in terms of the government's priorities regardless, Calais' walls and other silly stunts notwithstanding.
Your plan, if one can be bothered weaving together your lines, dots and assorted gibberish on the topic, of eliminating foreign-born presence [or at least Muslim/Middle Eastern/Refugee] in the country to reduce crime is a stratospherically expensive way to do it; not to forget, economically, socially and politically damaging, and about as effective as a chocolate teapot in Nige's coo-coo nest of a brain at achieving its actual aim -- reducing crime and re-offending in particular categories of public concern! So, yes, it's little surprise that people quickly identify a racial line in your thought and stop taking you seriously.
But keep having fun in your own little reality, champ.
