Wetback
Wetback is a derogatory term used in the United States for a non-American foreigner, commonly a Mexican citizen, especially one who is an illegal immigrant in the U.S. Generally used as an ethnic slur, the term was originally coined and applied only to Mexicans who entered the U.S. state of Texas from Mexico by crossing the Rio Grande, which forms the border between Texas and Mexico, presumably by swimming or wading across the river and getting wet in the process.
