Wet-back

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.

wet back

Racial Slang. Refers to any Hispanic
immigrant, particularly those of illegal
origin (the implication being that a wet
back results from crossing river borders
by swimming). Generally considered to be
a slur, offensive. Also "wetback".

Every summer, they hired a bunch of wet
backs to work the fields, and paid them
under the table.
