Rep. Don Young Says He Didn't Mean Any Disrespect When He Used the Term "Wetbacks"

Rep. Don Young says he "meant no disrespect" when he used the term "wetbacks."

"My father had a ranch; we used to have 50-60 wetbacks to pick tomatoes," Young, an Alaska Republican, told a local radio station in a story posted Thursday. "It takes two people to pick the same tomatoes now. It's all done by machine."
