Actually wetback came from them swimming across the rio grande back in the day you could go to one of the border towns in texas and see mexicans walking around in clothes that were still wet from just swimming across.

Re: Wondering how many of you guys use perfume/cologne
Wetback is a derogatory term for a Mexican laborer who, in order to obtain work in the United States, illegally enters the country by swimming or wading the Rio Grande. The Spanish-language translation espalda mojada – or, more tersely, mojado – is used in a similar sense by Hispanic Americans. Espalda mojada is also used in an equally pejorative way in Spain to refer to illegal immigrants from Morocco who cross the Straits of Gibraltar.

It may also refer to the shirt of a Mexican laborer becoming darkened with sweat, or the accumulation of sweat in general on a Mexican's back,
