Wetback is a derogatory term used in the United States to refer to foreign citizens living in the U.S., most commonly those from Mexico, especially to those residing illegally 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.
The term can also be used as an adjective or a verb. As an adjective, it pertains to activities involving undocumented Mexican immigrants. The earliest known recorded use in this way is by John Steinbeck in Sweet Thursday as he wrote, "How did he get in the wet-back business?" It was originally used as a verb in 1978 in Thomas Sanchez's Hollywoodland with the meaning, "to gain illegal entry into the United States by swimming the Rio Grande".
During the Republican presidential debate, Donald Trump praised a controversial deportation plan by Dwight Eisenhower called 'Operation Wetback' that deported undocumented immigrants into Mexico.

Understanding the Difference between Wetback & Dryback Boilers - SteamWorks

It can be a bit confusing to understand the difference in these two configurations of a firetube boiler until you can see the layers peeled away and can see exactly how they are constructed. The Dryback and Wetback boilers are both industry proven designs that deliver quality steam for plants around the world. As with anything else, there are pros and cons that make some configurations better suited for different applications.

#30DaysOfLatinx "Operation Wetback"- we can't make this stuff up (2017)
U.S. immigration law enforcement campaign during the summer of 1954 that resulted in the mass deportation of Mexican nationals (1.1 million persons according to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service [INS], though most estimates put the figure closer to 300,000). Drafted by U.S. Attorney General Herbert Brownell, Jr., and vetted by Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Operation Wetback arose at least partly in response to a portion of the American public that had become angry at the widespread corruption among employers of sharecroppers and growers along the Mexican border and at the Border Patrol’s inability to stem the influx of illegal workers.
