Whatever "typical" means. In my limited experience in the US I ran into countless people from other nations, many legal and many illegal, and few that would even come close to "typical".

Don't buy into the propaganda hype. Most "illegals" are far better citizens than the legal ones, if for no other reason than they can't afford to run in with the law for obvious reasons.

I also hired help from outside the Home Depot to work on the production I directed. I even found them free healthcare (the free Haight-Ashbury Clinic) for their chronic problems. I went out of my way for them because they were all good people. Maybe I just got lucky.

Ironically at the same time, and very sadly, I also hired an American who had serious problems that ended tragically. I ignorantly funded Paul's notorious act of Burning Man "anarchist vandalism". For years people in our circles joked that the Man would burn early on Wednesday instead of Saturday, in part to add chaos to the cacophony and in part to return to the authentic rule-free anarchy of the earlier years. Every year Burning Man added more and more rules and regulations due to normies, idiots, and abusers of the freedoms in our autonomous Black Rock City. In 2007 Paul set the Burning Man statue on fire early in a audacious stunt that would rival any James Bond movie. I now know what he was cryptically alluding to mysteriously for so long. Later he tried to set a church on fire in San Francisco for some reason, and even later committed suicide. He had serious issues beyond just those I mentioned, but ultimately he actually was a good person in his heart, haunted by demons.

On the way to the airport I lost my passport in a Manhattan cab in 2004. I moved back to Canada, then SF, then Ottawa, then Oakland via Mexico, then Victoria, then Burning Man again, and back to Vancouver in 2008 - and never was my passport critical. It didn't hurt that I'm a 6' white dude and had my dream girlfriend for much of that. I can't speak on the last dozen years.
