I don’t know that wetback really worked.
I recall lots of migrant mexican field workers in Ohio back in the 60s

One thing is different between now and then and that is that is the Nationality and immigration act of 1965.

Prior to 65 migrant workers came here to do work and then returned home.

Now they stay.
