No one has made the assertion that immigration and crime are linked. Have they?
The concern is with illegal immigration. Right?
If it's between Increased Crime and Illegal Immigration then the correlation should be 100% (since they all are committing a crime just by being here illegally).
But I'm betting that particular crime isn't being counted

A situation like that would be expected to create a statistical skew. In fact, such a skew would be all but a certainty. Not because the migrants are inherently bad. But because their circumstances are.
That's why "studies" would attempt to not isolate the illegal immigrant subset.
