I think that the point is that the vast majority of workers in the LA garment industry are Latino immigrants, which is objectively true. This is from 1999, but that's when I was in LA, and working with the fashion industry in LA:
90% of workers in the garment industry are Latino. I am not sure if whether the study differentiates between native born and immigrant workers. However, I would expect that a lot of them are immigrants. I l learned Spanish not in small part to be able to communicate better with Latino garment industry workers in LA.Immigrant incorporation in the garment industry of Los Angeles - PubMed
