Once again, the government is creating criminals where there would otherwise be none.  The US, with its immoral immigration laws, has created a black market in immigration and human smuggling.  As such, Latinos are the new majority in federal prisons, despite only making up 16% of the population.  From this FoxNews article:

"Statistics like this have to start drawing attention to this country's immigration policies and what we're doing, if this is one of the results," said Fordham University Law School professor Deborah Denno, an expert on racial disparities in the criminal justice system. "The implications for Latinos are huge when you think of the number of families affected by having their breadwinners put away for what in some cases would be considered a non-violent offense."
