Illegal aliens represent a disproportionately high population of American prisons http://www.fairus.org/site/pageserver?pa... so not only are they increasing crime, but they increase crime at a higher rate than other populations.
Illegal aliens murder 12 Americans every day http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?article_... That's more death each day than we suffer in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. For some victims and their stories http://www.immigrationshumancost.org/tex...
The Pew Hispanic Center state that 57% of illegal aliens are of Mexican origin and about 24% are of non-Mexican Latin American origin. They also report that while the number of legal immigrants (including LPRs, refugees, and asylees) arriving has not varied substantially since the 1980s, the number of illegal aliens has increased dramatically and, since the mid 1990s, has surpassed the number of legal immigrants.
A growing issue is gangs which are made of and support illegal aliens such as Mara Salvatrucha. According to a Maldon Institute report, MS 13 “appears to be in control of much of the Mexican border and, in addition to its smuggling and contraband rackets, the gang collects money from illegal immigrants that it helps [move] across the border into the United States.” Its members have committed murder, severed limbs, assaulted, robbed, and raped and are protected by international law with El Salvador.
Issues related to illegal immigration to the United States include research that such immigration has hidden medical consequences, such as the importation of diseases (such as polio, plague, dengue fever, drug-resistant tuberculosis, the chagas disease, and leprosy), which some sources describe as serious.
Experts say that more than 100 sexual predators cross the border every day, accounting for 1,000,000 sex crimes in the US. http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?arti...

Several recent studies indicate that immigrants, including illegal immigrants, have a lower crime rate than the general US population. This characteristic is true across all immigrant ethnic groups. The crime rate of second and third generation immigrants rises. Here are some links to popular articles describing these studies:

If you count things like being in the country illegally, and the various forms of identity fraud they commit, it's 100%. If you ignore those things, it's actually quite low, but statistics are quite sketchy, because nobody really knows how many illegals there are in the US.

100% Their first act to becoming an "American" was to break our law. They should be deported like any other criminal.
