Folks are worried about what refugees are doing in other countries because there is a movement to open wide the gates to let them in here and the best defense folks can come up with is: "We alreadyt do it". 

A better defense would be: "That is not an issue here, we have systems in place to prevent that type of behavior". 

So the "logical" way of thinking is we already have a problem with that; what's a little more.

I've noted your disclaimer. In case you are trying to lump me in with this, I'll say:

If say 1 in 16 men in a population commit rape, I can expect that any male immigrants will have a similar rate. It's not perfect because it doesn't account for actual rates in their home country, but we can roll with this for the time being.

I can expect that for every 16 men that enter into a population, one most likely will commit rape. It's the reality of my country, country X,  and something that must be addressed. 

Now, if someone is trying to suggest that this new group that just entered my country had a significant problem with rape, I assume that means they are raping at a higher rate than the 1 in 16 rate that my country already has. If they are lower than that, they are, in reality, better than the average male population in my country. If they are 1 in 16 too, they are no bigger problem than what we are already facing.

This is why I ask for relevance. Unless this is occurring at higher numbers than it has already been occurring in the country being mentioned, it's not a significant problem and it seems odd to call out one group if they aren't worse than the whole population.
