No, that is not "typical" of activities that illegal immigrants are pursuing "these days." Again - that's politics and propaganda speaking, not fact.

Typical immigrants without legal status or documentation are mostly under the radar, working legitimate jobs with expired visas (they arrived legally, they stay illegally). They pay taxes, they do their jobs, they come home, kiss their spouses and kids, have dinner, and do it all again the next day. THAT is the "typical" activity.

What you are describing is the A-typical. The same can be said for legal citizens of the USA. Typical activity for most of us in this country is to work, have families, pay taxes, get an education of some kind or another, and live our lives without much to-do. The A-typical among us commit crimes, some of them horrific.
