Wetback is a derogatory term for a Mexican who illegally enters the United States of America from its southern border, often by either swimming or wading across the Rio Grande. Wet back is also used in an equally pejorative way in Spain to refer to illegal immigrants from Morocco who cross the Straits of Gibraltar.

2x1, 2 por 1 (Spanish) = 2 for 1.
