According to this WashPo article a couple of years later, the wife, Helen, is also an immigrant! From the article "Roberto’s wife and her sister had both moved to the United States illegally from Greece, but they believed their ambition led to their amnesty. They couldn’t imagine that would no longer be the case." She is from Greece (maiden name Limberopolous), and she must have gotten amnesty in the eighties via Reagan. This BLOWS MY MIND! This is a double case of leopards eating her face....also coupled with the fact that everyone in their town who just "loved" Roberto so much seem to not give a single shit about him or his family now that they are all in Mexico.
