Socialsecurity benefits are not recognized. Pensions are out the window. Let me read to you a paragraph from the report of the Presidents Commission on Migratory Labor: The wetback is a hungry human being. His need of food and clothing is immediate and pressing. He is a fugitive and it is as a fugitive that he lives. Under the constant threat of apprehension and deportation. he cannot protest or appeal no matter how unjustly he is treated. Law operates against him but not for him. Those who capitalize on the legal disability of the wetbacks are numerous and their devices are many and various.
Identified stereotypes
Wetbacks are described as hungry, living as fugitives, and unable to protest injustice.
