What does "wetback" mean?
<|assistant|>
Wetback is a derogatory term used to refer to an individual who entered the U.S. illegally from Mexico or another Latin American country by crossing the Mexican Border. It is also used to refer to a person who entered the U.S. legally but remained in the country beyond the allowed period of time. The term is derived from the wetbacks of the 1950s, who were illegal laborers who crossed a river in Texas in wet clothing to avoid detection.
