There's 2 reasons:
Undocumented immigrants stay away from violent neighborhoods.
Undocumented immigrants are afraid to testify thinking that the police will turn them to immigration, they are also generally unaware of U visas*, and even if - they are generally afraid to seek any benefit thinking that if they don't meet the standard they'll get deported.
* - Look how slow news about DACA traveled, and how people were hesitant to sign up since they might get deported. Now multiply both unawareness and hesitation by 10.
