While not all Hispanics are undocumented immigrants, the majority of undocumented immigrants are Hispanic so the data will disproportionately show that if an undocumented immigrant is committing a crime, then they are likely to be of Hispanic descent.
I also find fault in the data as it is using crime statistics from Arizona - a state with a high population of Hispanics. You can't extrapolate data from a diverse state like Arizona and then make a general statement that it applies to all of the U.S. This is like taking crime statistics from Idaho and saying white men in the entire U.S are most likely to commit homicide.
Look, it is a tale as old as time. According to FBI statistics, black males are still most likely to commit a violent crime. This is not accounting for the crimes registered where race is not listed.
