According to statistics, violent crimes by illegals is a "micro-drop" compared to the total violent crimes per year. And most research shows it to be at a lower rate than native born, minus one contested study.

And as someone told me earlier in regards for such micro-drop violent crime totals, Apparently such a tiny percent of crimes isn't "worth your tears", or most certainly a wall.
No wonder it polls so poorly among most Americans, they seem to agree with your logic!
In a country wherein only ONE US STATE has a majority that can pass the citizenship test used to become naturalized citizens, I'm not expecting the majority of hoi poli operate at any great level of cognition than my cat. (Those under 45 had an astounding 70 percent "F" letter grade).
And if illegals only committed 7000 crimes a year, not only would I not shed tears over so many ignoramuses, I'd be popping Champaign corks and declaring we have proof of existence of divine intervention.
I will parse through the articles to filter out all the misleading references to legal immigration from illegals (a step many habitual illegal defenders fail to do), exclude the media echoing the same the same study, and find the "loaded" basis of what remains - if any.
In the meantime, before we look at the studies and evaluations that persuasive that illegals do commit more crimes, here are some things to keep in mind:
1. Crimes committed by millions of illegal immigrants related to use of fraudulent SSI numbers, fake driver's licenses, forged green cars, and improper use of public benefits are never counted in these studies. In addition some, such as Cato, leave out broad classes of drug offenses, further distorting the actual crime rate.
2. Most government (at all levels) do not collect data of illegal alien crime convictions. To do such might draw fire from the pro-illegal constituency (e.g. identity groups and the Democratic party). So sources are intentionally limited.
3. In spite of this, most researchers try to ignore the few established sources that do
provide data on criminal acts by known illegal aliens. They point to all types of alleged, and typically baseless, “flaws” in measuring the direct rate of incarceration. In actuality, however, the only real flaw, from the perspective of mainstream research organizations is that doing so confirms that illegal aliens commit other crimes at a higher rate.[/B]
So before you uncritically accept the "bums rush" assumption that there is only one study or evaluation that shows illegals commit crime that is not true - no matter where you obtained that "information".
Most recently, the Federation for American Immigration Reform, did a detailed study based on firm data on incarcerations, they found the following:
Key Findings in Brief
FAIR found that in all SCAAP-reporting states along the Southern Border, and in SCAAP-reporting interior states that are preferred destinations for unlawful migrants, illegal aliens are incarcerated at a much higher rate than citizens and lawfully-present aliens.[7]
SCAAP data indicate that illegal aliens are typically at least three times as likely to be incarcerated than citizens and lawfully-present aliens.
Since the SCAAP program only includes those illegal aliens who have, at some point, been convicted of a crime, the only reasonable conclusion is that illegal aliens must commit crimes at a higher rate than citizens or lawfully-present aliens in order to be incarcerated at such high rates.
These findings stand in stark contrast to the narrative pushed by the open-borders lobby that illegal aliens are less likely to commit crimes compared to citizens or lawfully-present aliens.
