Because stupid people let them in, give them what they want, and don't even expect them fit in with mainstream society. They're pretty hopeless people, who can't get it together in their own countries. So we let them in to destabilise ours.
I'm afraid you're misunderstanding me. I'm comparing examples of productive immigrants (curry shop owners and taxi drivers - just examples, although admittedly tongue-in-cheek) with non-productive indigenous people (white yobs) of which, sadly, we already have too many. Comparing these will, of course, show that such immigrants are 2 1/2 times less likely to be claiming benefits than WASP Britons.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'd be more than happy to import productive immigrants of any nationality (provided they are not coming here to destroy the country) in exchange on a one-to-one basis for our indigenous yobs and criminals.
But have the government statistics you are quoting been 'massaged'? As we are all aware, statistics can show whatever the compilers want them to show and for that reason I tend to take them with a pinch of salt, especially government statistics.
Excellent examples, WS, and neither of them from the Daily Mail, and so not subject to the usual criticism and derision!

The Mail tends to invent or embellish stories, the Telegraph is as you say more respected, biased but trustworthy.
Fortunately, some of us have the mental capacity to read stories in the Mail and sort the wheat from the chaff. Admittedly, some exaggeration but I agree with many of their opinions.
One thing I deplore, though, is that some of their 'journalists' who write the articles presented on their smartphone app need to learn how to spell correctly. They often write in American which, I presume, indicates that they don't know how to change their spellchecker to Real English.

I used to read the daily mail years ago,i had to give it up as i realised i was becoming addicted to it, it got to the stage were i couldn't pass a newsagents without getting an uncontrollable urge to have a look at the mails latest headline in order to get burst of outraged indignation to set me for the day.
Stories like "The Poles are eating our Swans" and "Man finds Romanians living in his roofspace" were enough to get me angry enough to waste 60p to buy the Mail in order to get the rest of the story.

Have to agree. You can pick up a Daily Mail feeling full of the joys of spring. Half an hour later, you're Mr Angry. I've weaned myself off and prefer the no nonsense reporting of The Telegraph. Bit bleedin' steep though, but my origami skills are coming along well with having to wrestle with a broadsheet.
We only actually buy one on Saturdays (also for the TV magazine) and they're 90p!
During the week, I look at the Mail app on my smartphone. That's free.
If you shop at waitrose you get a free newspaper if you spend more than £5 in the week and £10 at weekends. Not sure if you have waitrose up north. Do you have electricity and flush loos?

I live in Belfast, every time i come back from the pub and switch on the local news it usually starts with " a man has been found with a gunshot to the leg in Belfast, after listening to this almost every night i am starting to wonder how many legs has this bloke got.
We don't get told that any more.
I suspect armed gangs still carry out punishment shootings, as a service to the community. They do it to drug dealers, that sort of thing. Presumably drug dealers who are not part of their gang.
