Abstract: Employing data from the US Census and the American Community Survey, this chapter analyzes differences in self-employment outcomes for Mexican immigrants along the lines of English-language fluency for 1990, 2000, and 2005.

Nevertheless, LEP Mexican immigrant men have experienced a relatively large growth in their self-employment rates since 1990 . . .
