For the lesser-educated leftists-in-hiding here, WetBack refers to their getting wet by swimming across the Rio Grande (Big River) which lines a portion of the border between Texas and Mexico (a foreign country).

I know what a wetback is, and likely knew long before you did, since I live in Texas.

"Wetback" is a derogatory term, no matter who uses it. That's why Belling is off the air.

Double standard. If Looney Left calls the president a liar, fraud, Nazi, racist, homophobe, bible thumper, etc. it is applauded as "enlightened" and "free speech". Same hypocricy that allows Clinton to get away with banging an intern while the NOW gang fawns over him.

So you live in Texas - what makes you think I don't know?

Especially since I was probably in Texas way before you --- to me, even Texans are called YANQUIS!

WETBACK is derogatory only to ILLEGAL CRIMINALS and I don't give a rats ass about the feelings of ILLEGAL CRIMINALS.

Or did you think I was referring directly to you when I mentioned "leftist-in-hiding" ?? Is there a knee-jerk reaction here?

"Wetback" is a derogatory term, no matter who uses it."

Pretty simple fact. I have heard legal Mexican imigrants and those of Mexican descent which are born here to describe the illegal crossers and they have mostly used the term in a derogatory fashion. It's a bit of a status thing.
