Can you cite your sources for these claims? I don't believe there is direct evidence that illegal immigrants cause proportionally more crime than the general population in the same socioeconomic circumstances. The fact that they are undocumented seems like it would hard to have the data to draw that conclusion in the first place.

There probably is if you consider all crime; e.g., while not all undocumented residents commit the crime of illegal entry (visa overstays don't usually), it's probably far more common among illegal immigrants than the general population. It's very hard to be undocumented and not commit any crimes directly related to that fact.
