I said 'It would be interesting to know', I did not assume or say. If details were made available the facts would be clear for all to see.
I am just aware of the number of cases reported in this country where the criminal appears to be foreign or from a family with background from another country.
Even a look at this months Crimewatch most wanted pictures appear to show a trend. There are 8 criminals listed and only 2 of them are white, perhaps the BBC is being racist.
I guess there could be some truth in that old BBC joke... 'The BBC have been told to balance the ratio of ethnic to white appearances, so they will now be showing Crimewatch twice a week.

I don't quite understand your logic!
I said in my post that I agreed that Brits should be deported for committing crimes in another country. These people should serve their sentence in their home country, I disagree with serving sentences first and then being deported.
Although I understand how it would be a problem with many corrupt countries, because it could not be guaranteed the country would indeed make them serve their sentence. My method would be to do whatever is necessary that a foreigner committing a serious crime is never allowed entry to this country again. If other countries want to follow the same rules against british criminals that's fine with me.
