Hey, Len:

That's an obsolete name. Hasn't been used for 60+ years and by even native born (then called) Spanish Americans to describe wet backs newly crossing the border. Maybe some old western novels may have had that term in them?

Very interesting that you have brought that up from the froth to my memory.
