Depends on what you mean by "here illegally". Improper entry into the US is a crime but unlawful presence isn't actually a crime (it's a civil offense). So for the estimated 40% of "illegals" in the US who are former visas holders or lawful entrants who never left, they potentially never committed a crime (with regards to their entry and presence in the US).
Such a huge part of the population that gets ignored in the immigration debate. Also the chunk more likely to actually take jobs from citizens (as they tend to be skilled/educated).
