For the purposes of this essay I shall be concentrating mainly on the Los Angeles Garment industry as this is an area of manufacturing highly represented by new Asian immigrants, especially Koreans and longer established Mexican immigrants, many of whom are working illegally. We will also be focusing on the garment industry as it is also one of the largest industries in the Los Angeles area. But we will also be taking into account the affect Vietnamese, Chinese and other ‘Asian’ groups have had on the shaping of other elements of immigrant enterprise in Los Angeles. We must also bear in mind that many immigrant Asians occupy professional positions within banking, medicine and computers.
