It doesn’t make sense, is the prospect of being deported really that big of a deterrent to poor illegals not committing crimes or are they just purposely misreported to discredit the rights’ claims on illegals committing crimes?

Isn't it a crime to enter a country illegally?
Please recontextualize everything the government tells you before you parrot it. It’ll make more sense that way.
The statistics certainly could be wrong but I think it is a good deterrent like you said. Basically any interaction with police could cause you to be deported.
Also their crimes are probably under reported. A lot of crime is domestic so that type of thing would almost certainly go almost completely unreported.
I found an article which explained it well, it is underreported. A lot of illegals are only counted as illegals in the justice system many years after they were already in prison. When adjusting for those later counted as illegals, the rate of crimes illegals commits is well above the Texas average.

Crime statistics in general are all over the place because of weird shit like white-hispanic being an option in some places and others places not an option. They're some of the least accurate statistics available and that's from a contrarian autist that tries to disprove msm and conspiracy bias sources.
Nobody on the Left (~50% of America) would report a crime if they knew the perp was an illegal.
