A very hated and notorious person that smuggles Mexicans into the United States of America. Pollero literally means chicken hearder for the way illegal immigrants, known as, " pollos ," walk behind them through the harsh border region like a big bag of chicken feed.
The pollero just abandoned the Mexicanos when he saw La Migra in the distance.
Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.
Person with old fashioned ideas which he is unwilling to change: Come to the disco and stop being such an old fogey!
You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
