Spoiler:
why didn't he move to the other borough with the girlfriend? Didn't she say that she made money, and that they could have the kids live in a better neighborhood? Or was I misunderstanding things. I thought that for all of his effort, something better would happen in then end than him just bringing the kids back to the same ghetto.

Also, the scenes of the ghetto were funny! The people were always chasing cars, fighting, what not. Fun film!

Love me some Waltons

Popi told his girlfriend that he didn't want to move his kids to Brooklyn because they would lose their identity as Puerto Ricans there. That is something which is very important to Puerto Ricans who are fiercely loyal to their heritage and culture.
