I have yet to see you source your "majority of them are self-employed" bit.  Other than anecdotal evidence.  I mean I could mention that anytime I go to home depot, I see illegal aliens working there.  People who can't speak english, and who you know aren't there legally (and this is even backed by a neighbor of mine, who is hispanic and very much pro-illegal immigrant, though he's here legally himself).   A friend of mine (who has been jobless for some time) tried to apply to a job for Home Depot some time back.  They didn't have any english applications there.  Only ones in Spanish (and he can't speak Spanish)
