The term "wet back" is derogatory racial or ethnic slur generally used by racist white speakers. Slurs generally are not used in normal conversation, they often say more about the speaker than the people spoken of.

Yes, "wetback" is considered a derogatory and offensive term to refer to Mexican immigrants or people of Mexican descent. It is recommended to use more respectful language when discussing individuals from any background.
