Fence Hopper

Share definition
A term sometimes used to by other races profile most people of hispanic or mexican descent, implying that at some point they or their family came into America by "hopping" or "jumping" the border fence, which in some way is incorrect, as not all people of that ethnic group are illegally in America and not all illegals come into America over a tall fence, as the more robust American border fences ordinarily exist closer to the more heavily populated and thus more patrolled areas. It can also be used to describe those of the same race born in America as "legal" U.S. Citizens, or "chicanos," as they are commonly known.
Alternate variations using various combinations of the words Border/Fence followed by Jumper/Hopper/Vaulter etc. exist and are also used to the same effect.
