Originally a nick name for Mexicans greaser, beaner, pepper belly, either legally or illegally in the country. Originated in the American Southwest border states, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California. Through common usage has come to mean citizens of any nation who have immigrated here illegally.

A derogitory term used to describe illegal immigrants from Mexico. This originates from them jumping the boat and swimming to shore (undetected) hence having 'wet backs'.
"Those lousy wet backs never do any work"
"Damn Robin's a filthy wet back!
....yeah so's Dolly man"
"That guy's a bit too wet back for my liking"

Illegal aliens from Mexico.
As the land near the USA-Mexico border is mainly very hot desert, the people who try to illegal cross the border on foot often become very sweaty. As a result, their backs are wet with sweat and they are known by this feature.

A mexican with no green card, too lazy to get one; therefore swims to the U.S thus becoming a "wet-back".
The Wet-backs pick srawberries, work our fast foods, and sell flowers, oranges, cherries etc. on main streets.
