Heather Mac Donald has piece in the the latest City Journal in which she highlights a few underreported facts about modern immigration.[Seeing Today’s Immigrants Straight] Here's one:

Between the foreign-born generation and their American children, the incarceration rate of Mexican-Americans jumps more than eightfold, resulting in an incarceration rate that is 3.45 times higher than that of whites, according to an analysis of 2000 census data by the pro-immigrant Migration Policy Institute.
