The format of this print is that of lotería cards, a game associated with Mexico.  The artist based the standing figure with crossed arms on that of his father at the age the father would been when he immigrated to the U.S. Accompanied by a backpack and jug of water for the trip, the figure is proud and determined. Neutralized by its association with a card game, the title, nevertheless, refers to stinging epithets, shamefully used for immigrants from Mexico.  
El formato de esta impresión es el de las tarjetas de lotería, un juego asociado con México. El artista basó la figura de un hombre parado y con los brazos cruzados en la de su padre a la edad que tendría el padre cuando emigró a los Estados Unidos. Acompañado de una mochila y una jarra de agua para el viaje, la figura se muestra orgullosa y decidida. Neutralizado por su asociación con un juego de cartas, el título, sin embargo, se refiere a epítetos punzantes, usados vergonzosamente contra los inmigrantes de México.
