In Mexico someone with a perfect Castillian accent might get called a 
maricón. Some of the Latin American Spanish teaching programs emphasize 
it's not exactly Spain Spanish like Quebec French isn't Parisian French. 

There is an sometimes amusing movie, 'El Norte'. A brother and sister are 
fleeing violence in Guatemala and have to go through Mexico on the way to 
the US. The sister asks how they're going to pass for Mexican and the 
brother says just say chinga a lot. There are a lot of nuances to the 
different noun and verb forms but "Chinga la migra" is popular in current 
demonstrations and can be freely translated as 'Fuck ICE!'
