through illegal immigration, we are getting a skewed sample of the world's population. anyone willing to cross borders illegally is already willing to break the law, so you can bet there will be a higher concentration of bad people amongst that group.
I don't have any data on this, but I'm willing to bet the crime rate amongst legal immigrants is much lower than the crime rate amongst illegal immigrants (EDIT: for all crimes that are not "illegally crossing the border").
This is all simply solved by throwing out every single foreigner in the country.
Yeah... I dislike your plan...
You cannot tell me with a straight face that it wouldn't drastically reduce the instances of things like what got linked in the OP.
I think you'd be missing out on some stuff and discovering that there's already problems.
Every single crime committed by a foreigner would no longer be happening. They don't belong here to begin with so I'm not seeing a downside.
Do you have some sort of dog in this fight? Are you upset because I just advocated for throwing out friends or family of yours?
What kind of stuff would be missed out on?

Less than 100%, so yes.
