Between 2011 and 2016 22% of the inmates in federal prisons were non U.S. citizens. It cost $7.5 billion to detain non U.S. citizens during those five years. There were 730,000 non U.S. citizens in federal, state and local prisons.
American citizens funded $18.5 billion for illegal immigrants healthcare costs in 2016 alone.
I don't think this looks very good. We could be spending this money on upgrading highways, bridges and buildings that have fallen into decay. What are your thoughts?

Illegal is illegal so those who do things that is not right will be removed from the country.That's the reason that if I will come to any country it is important to be in legal way.

My thoughts are if the non-US citizens are doing no good for the country send them straight back from where they came from.

Hmm. And if we sent them back to their countries, everyone would be up in arms about the insensitivity of immigrants. It's a no-win situation.
