<p>Any foreign national who comes to our country and abuses our hospitality by breaking
the law should be in no doubt of our determination to punish and deport them. More
than 47,000 Foreign National Offenders have been removed from the UK since 2010, and
in the financial year 2017/18 almost 6,000 were removed from prisons, immigration
removal centres, and the community.</p><p> </p><p>The table below shows the prison
sentences for non-UK EU nationals, for the period 2014/18.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td
