From the 1911 Immigration Commission, also known as the Dillingham Commission, to the 1931 Wickersham Commission, and 1994’s Barbara Jordan Commission, each has reported that immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than native-born Americans."
That was from 2018, since you referenced a 2018 data. There are more recent studies that show the same. In 2019 these numbers were released: At least 13% of the federal prison population, and 30% of the Federal Marshalls detention are illegal aliens. Federal Marshall's don't hold many other types of prisoners.

The overriding problem is that our TOTAL infrastructure and government services can NOT adequately handle our TOTAL population. No wonder we have polarization and groups hating other groups. And that hatred leading to GUN violence and that FEAR driving up GUN sales. We have just emerged from the inability to solve the Covid crisis due to nationwide polarization. There is a Covid surge in Florida right now and it is being ignored by our so-called leaders.
............Increased GUN sales are NOT going to make for a peaceful summer, just the opposite!
