rajeta is a coward or chicken.
There is a well-known song: "Jalisco no te rajes".
That means: Jalisco, don't chicken out, don't be afraid.
Tex Mex is a mixture of things from Texas and
Mexico. The language spoken along the border
is often called Tex Mex.
La migra = the Immigration Service.
Watch the excellent movie "El norte".
You will hear this used many times:
Guarte--Viene la migra.
Gabacha could be a foreigner but
it is also means a French woman.
Gabacho is really a frog and a Frenchman
is sometimes called a frog.
To speak bad Spanish: Hablar español
como un verdadero gabacho.

Hispanic, Indian, Black, Spaniard
You are neither gabacha (Anglo)
you are racially mixed,
one of your parents is Anglo and the other Hispanic, to give you an example.
rajeta: slang word saying you backup on your word, you are scared to do something daring.
Tex-Mex: When you mix something from Texas and Mexico, food,music etc.
La migra: slang word for Immigration.
