One setting that seems ideal to study this question is Switzerland's random assignment of refugees to cantons (studied here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b9sQ_h53t648PTA-CmGIH9gpwq7oP40f/view?usp=sharing). This paper doesn't do it and I don't know if any other papers use the same setting. Though there would be external validity concerns (from the first cross country correlation graph, Switzerland is probably an outlier in the immigration-crime relationship, and refugees are not typical voluntary migrants)
There's a handful - I'll write them up. There's a couple of Secure Communities papers (which I don't love because staggered difference-in-difference designs + possible pre-trend issues), Alex Nowrasteh has a paper on 287(g), Conor Norris has one on SB 1070 in Arizona, and Charis Kubrin has one on SB 54 in CA.

There's not much literature specific to undocumented immigrants,sadly.
The famous paper is the Tx-DOT paper that destroyed the mythology of the evil,criminally inclined median undocumented immigrant.
Not much outside of that.
So it's easy for xenophobes to demagogue.
