An extensive study conducted in North Carolina revealed two things about the burgeoning Hispanic population in that state. In the first place the study reveals that the boom in the Hispanic population has led to an increase of some $9 billion in consumer spending. The study, however, also reveals that with the growth of Hispanics in the Tar Heel State, wages for low-skilled workers have been depressed.

Many outspoken labor groups argue that Hispanics, who are willing to work for less (statistically), depress low-skilled wages by $2 billion dollars. We at the Phalanx hate to rain on this parade, as we certainly aren’t fans of porous borders or illegal immigration, but Hispanics aren’t to blame for these low wages. Wages are low for low skilled workers for one simple reason: its LOW SKILL, which is just a hair above NO SKILL. People who lack skills should receive a low wages, for the simple fact that anyone with two hands and two legs and a marginally functioning brain stem can perform the same tasks.

If these labor spokesman are displeased with this inescapable reality then they must do what hardworking Americans do everyday: learn the skills that engender them to their employers, seek the education which makes them invaluable, stop seeking handouts and start putting forth the requisite effort that is the foundation of individual success and above all stop blaming others (i.e., Hispanics) for your own personal failures.
