It depends on where you are referring to up north and in what industires. Where I lived in Northern Virginia, some of the construction trades were so dominated by illegals, that many legitimate construction businesses closed their business or switched trades. I once asked a contractor I knew to do some drywall work for me. He said that all drywall work was done by Hispanic businesses because they were so cheap that they put every other drywall business out of business. The same thing was true about landscaping. It doesn't seem to be that bad in central Florida.
