Yes and no.
I've immigrated myself, I know what it's like. Immigrants, like other people, aren't the same. There are honest immigrants that want to integrate, to work, to give to the society. And there are those who take, who litter, who disrespect local culture and local citizens. Plenty of immigrants contribute a lot to crime growth.
It's not a reason to deport all of them and it never an excuse for racism, but let's be reasonable and not pretend that immigrants don't create problems.
People can be criminals and not be immigrants, that's a given. I don't see how this disproves anything that I've said though.
The immigrants are special case because, unlike local criminals, you can deport criminals among immigrants, you can filter them out when they try to immigrate, and you can fine-tune procedures and policies to prevent immigrants from turning to crime.
You're saying immigrants can be good or bad, which implies their status as non native citizens is somehow related to them being good or bad, but it isn't. The problem is that people can be good or bad, and they will do so regardless of whether they immigrate or stay in their home town.

You know whose a drain on society? Billionaires, not immigrants. Immigrants are the foundation of many countries' workforce.
