<|assistant|>
A wetback is an offensive and derogatory term for a person of Mexican descent who immigrates illegally to the United States. It is generally used in a pejorative manner and is typically associated with racism. The term wetback is believed to have originated from the 1950's when migrants would swim across the border from Mexico into the United States, becoming damp from the crossing and thus earning the moniker wetback. It has been used by politicians and anti-immigration activists to describe people who cross the U.S-Mexico border without documents.
