Your hate and ignorance are on full display. You obviously didn't bother to peruse the article you linked.
For example:
If the US government won't or can't control movement across the nation's borders, then the nation is no longer truly sovereign. Anyone can come or go as they please with no checks on their doing so. That also means that goods can cross uncontrolled, notably illegal drugs.
So, this "myth" is truth and the response here is a lie.
In construction occupations requiring lower skill levels than others, undocumented immigrants arguably depress wages. This makes construction more affordable, but leads to pay disparities between US- and foreign-born workers. Undocumented construction workers often face wage theft and occupational safety violations throughout the country.

Ybarra, born in Los Angeles, has built a solidly middle-class lifestyle on more than two decades in the carpenters’ union, earning $40 an hour on top of a pension, healthcare and unlimited vacation days.
Martinez, born in Guadalajara, Mexico, works for a nonunion contractor, installing metal panels and other parts for $27.50 an hour. He doesn’t have retirement savings, his insurance doesn’t cover his family and he gets five vacation days per year.

I construction trades, illegal immigrants do depress wages. Illegal and recent immigrants also often are less skilled in trades and do shoddy work. I've seen that a lot, first hand. For example, if I see electrical tape on wiring and around wire nuts, I
know a semi-skilled or unskilled recent immigrant or illegal immigrant did the work. I've caught that in progress enough to know who's doing what.
This is answer is an outright lie. The need for greater border enforcement, more controls, environmental destruction caused by illegal immigration, etc., are all things that increase the cost of government and in turn government spending. It may not have a great impact overall, but it has an impact. Immigrants of all types also send massive amounts of cash out of the country.
In 2018, over 200 million migrant workers sent $689 billion back home to remittance reliant countries, of which $529 billion went to developing countries.

In the United States alone, the total amount of remittance payments is estimated to have been more than $148 billion in 2017.

That's money drained out of the US economy and sent elsewhere. That doesn't help build the US economy at all. Mass immigration and illegal immigration in particular, are a net drain on the economy.
Also not true. Immigrants today have a much easier time not assimilating into US society. It is entirely possible for someone to retain their language and culture without assimilation due to states and federal laws that put all documents, forms, and processes into multiple languages for example. Why bother to learn English when you can do everything in say, Spanish?
100, 150, years ago you were pretty much forced to learn English or you had to eek out a living in a relatively isolated immigrant community because without speaking English you couldn't participate in larger society. That's just one example.
This is a disingenuous conflation of legal and illegal immigration. 100% of immigrants in the US here
illegally are criminals. That holds by the very fact they are illegal immigrants. Illegals also go to jail or prison at about triple the rate of legal immigrants and US citizens. Even if that incarceration is only for immigration violations, it is a criminal act, and they were convicted of it.
Of course, many states don't track between legal immigrants and citizens and illegal ones, but even on its face, this is true: Illegals commit crimes at much higher rates than legal immigrants or citizens.
Well, the answer here is another lie.
