The biggest threat of violence to US citizens comes not from immigrants but from gun violence inflicted on them by their fellow American citizens.
Barely a week goes by where the US doesn't experience an act of domestic terrorism without some total nutter shoots up a mall, movie theater, school, church etc. In fact the frequency of these gun violence incidents is such that they sometimes interrupt each other's news cycles. There is even a lexicon that has been invented to describe the - "sheltering in place, "active shooter" etc.
You will never hear the US media call or government call these acts of terrorism or the perpetrators of this gun violence against innocent people referred to as terrorists.
It's worth noting Donald Trump the architect of this anti-immigrant hysteria opposes expanding federal background checks for gun purchases.
