This narrative deliberately conflates civil immigration laws and criminal offenses. Being on U.S. soil without status is not a crime.
Multiple studies have shown that immigrants are less likely to commit crime than native-born citizens and undocumented immigrants are less likely than documented immigrants. https://www.pnas.org/content/117/51/32340
Viewing immigrants as inherently criminal has been used to justify holding detainees in life threatening conditions for years, sexually assaulting and performing unnecessary sterilizations of female immigrants, deporting legal permanent residents, and separating children from their parents.
