There is in Europe. Sweden (as an example) had one of the lowest crime rates in Europe til a lot of immigration from Africa and the Middle East. Now it's the rape capital of Europe.
Not saying immigration is bad, but it comes with certain other social/cultural problems that the west is very bad at dealing with at a government level.

Please don't muddy the waters about what the original post is about which is illegal immigrants in the united states leading to increased rape and crime. If you're going to bring up a side point, especially one that deviates from the U.S. please provide sources to read through because Bigtokes will just use your statement as a springboard to rant.
Edit: To address what you said though Swish, there is a particular metric called ethnic homogeneity that is on average higher in Europe than any other place in the world (save for Australia and specific Asian countries). The problem with immigration in an ethnically homogeneous country is that assimilation is necessary or else tension rises. The U.S. is not an ethnically homogeneous nation and is largely the "neutral" control group for ethnic homogeneity across the globe. This is why there is a drastic difference between the U.S. and Europe when it comes to immigration.
