A federal law does exist that makes it a crime to transport or attempt to transport a noncitizen within the U.S., but it's meant to cover narrower situations than the one you are describing. The law is found within the Immigration and Nationality Act (I.N.A.), at Section 274(a)(1)(A)(ii).
In order to convict someone under this section of the law, the prosecutors would need to show that:
the defendant transported or attempted to transport a noncitizen within the U.S.
the noncitizen was in the U.S. in violation of U.S. law (as would be the case with any undocumented person)
the defendant was aware that the noncitizen was in the U.S. unlawfully and acted in reckless disregard of this fact, and
the defendant acted willfully in furtherance of the noncitizen's legal violation.
And yes turning them lose in more populated areas is 'in furtherance'.
