Here is an example of ICE invading a home without a warrant, reported by Fox. [0] That is definitely against our way of life.
Your list of crimes is just as prevalent in white people. Statistically immigrants commit fewer crimes than native born citizens. Undocumented immigrants commit even fewer violent crimes [1]. So if we're doing house to house searches for criminals we should start with citizens.

Illegal aliens are shown to commit more crimes than citizens when time is given to determine immigration status. [1]
> Studies purporting to show low illegal immigrant crime rates in Texas fail to account for the fact that illegal immigrants are not always identified immediately upon arrest. In many cases, illegal immigrants are identified only after they are imprisoned. Given sufficient time for data collection, it appears that illegal immigrants have above average conviction rates for homicide and sexual assault, while they have lower rates for robbery and drugs.
There is also the question of how many illegal aliens actually exist in the US, which severely complicates calculation of rates for their population.
Your pdf is a repost of the exact study (Light) cited here as being flawed.

Not the most compelling case:
> Gibson is a 38-year-old Liberian citizen, who has a final immigration removal order dating back to 2009.
> Statistically immigrants commit fewer crimes than native born citizens
Legal ones, yes - they have a lot to lose. Can you please cite any study positing the same for illegal immigrants?
> Not the most compelling case:
Does not matter one bit. Law enforcement may not break down doors without a warrant except in limited cases. This was not one of them. They violated the constitution and our way of life.
> Legal ones...
I'm guessing you didn't read the cite. It clearly shows that undocumented immigrants commit significantly less crime. Once you read it I'd be interested to know if it changes your opinion at all.
The majority of illegal immigrants did commit a crime by virtue of being illegals, violating 8 U.S.C. 1325, so the crime-rate for illegals is certainly higher than non-immigrants right out of the gate.
For the less-than-half who have “only” committed civil immigration violations, the point still remains that they are here illegally and are subject to civil immigration proceedings.
