Women's safety campaigner Jess Gill has declared violence against women by foreign nationals is a "national emergency", following shock new migrant data.
Analysis by the Tories found that illegal migrants are "24 times more likely" to go to prison than Britons, with the most common including Somalians, Afghans, Iraqis, Albanians and Iranians.
The figure is based on Census data on of the the 10,838 foreign criminals in prisons in England and Wales at the end of March.
Speaking to GB News, Gill characterised the situation as a "national emergency" for women and girls, linking both legal and illegal migration to increased danger.

Gill pointed to statistics showing even legal immigrants are "3.4 times more likely to commit crimes than native Brits, sex crimes in particular."
She explained: "I think there is a national emergency here against women and girls when it comes to migration, both legally and illegally. I think one crime is far too many, one sex crime is far too many.
"And we can see it in our streets. Women and girls don't feel comfortable walking home, they don't feel comfortable getting the train or the bus home, and even if they get a taxi, there is no guarantee for their safety. And the elephant in the room here is that it's because of illegal immigration."
The Women's Safety Initiative director attributed these crimes to what she called "this extremist mass immigration policy that we've had over the past few decades."

Small boat migrants are 24 times more likely to go to prison than the average British citizen, new data has revealedGETTYGill suggested that perpetrators' behaviour stems from their countries of origin, claiming: "These men coming over here, they're acting in a certain way because of where they've come from, because of the cultures that they've come from and because of, quite frankly, racism towards white people, these white girls."
She highlighted the grooming gang scandal as the most severe manifestation of this crisis. "Hundreds of thousands of girls across the country have had to deal with the most horrific crimes imaginable," she told GB News.
She added: "They were raped, they were groomed, they were abused, they were chained to radiators by dozens of men per victim. I think this is absolutely horrific."
Gill condemned the institutional response to victims who report these crimes. She stated that when women approach authorities, "they've been called racist or they're just too afraid to go to the police to begin with".

The Women's Safety Initiative director argued that dismissing these particular offences amounts to "erasing their stories and their experiences."
Gill maintained that these constitute a distinct category of offence, describing them as "an imported crime" requiring specific attention.
A Home Office spokesman said in a statement: "The comparison of these two data sets is completely unfounded.
"It is inappropriate to apply foreign imprisonment rates to small boat arrival data as these consist of very different groups of people."
