Even if the majority of immigrants don't commit crimes, because groups are never equally distributed in any country, the per capita (usually per 100,000 people) statistic is the one we should look at. For instance, if migrants make up only 1% of a country's population, but represent 25% of rapists, then they have a greater amount of rapists per capita even though 25% is not the majority.

 

Your math don't add up here in America, especially not in NYC where it is immigrant majority. I'm pretty sure the crime rate in Germany is more or less the same too.

Like I said before, it takes less than 1% to cause people to lose their minds.. Forget about ebola, immigrants is the new rage right.

USA is not comparable to Europe because crime commited by black people and hispanics raises the crime activity among natives so much that immigrants don't reach that level. And you have a different justice system too and punish criminals much harder than in Europe. Foreigners are scared of the American police and justice system, and respect the USA on a completely different level than immigrants do in Europe.
