Popeye,
Read the definition from Webster's. You keep trying to pertain it to the crossing of the Rio Grande. That was the history of the word not the definition. How many times do i have to say this because i am being redundant.
minnetar
I read it in Websters.
What's your question?
It says "Mexican".
What's the problem? They miss the fact that anyone who crosses the Rio Grande illegally is a wetback.
Two guys crossing the Rio Grande illegally, one a "Mexican" one from Guatemala.
Does Webster mean to say that *only* the "Mexican" is a "wetback" but the Guatemalian (isn't?)
Mexicans aren't the only illegal aliens who cross that border, are they?
That doesn't clear a lot up does it?
And if it's considered "derogatory" it should be!
They're criminals who's very first act was to commit a Federal Felony. What, now we can't insult criminals?
If they don't like the term "Wetback" then don't do it!
lmaoooooooo - the reference to the rio grande was in the history of the word not the definition. How many times do i need to reiterate that fact. Yall can choose to read it the way you want based on other sources and that is basically what yall do. rofl why don't we just make up all the definitions to words.
