If you just read the headline, you think "gee, immigrants sure are committing a lot of crimes here", when actually the increase is due to prosecuting the act of them coming here in the first place. That doesn't completely negate the point vis a vis use of law enforcement resources, but it's very different from "immigrants are stealing, raping, and murdering everyone."


  prosecuting the act of them coming here in the first place. 
That's false. Only re-entry after deportation counts as a crime in these statistics.
