What up Foooo's!!! Felipe talks making less money than his wife, his new Netflix special and roasts Anthony A for good measure.
Felipe Esparza was born in
Sinaloa,
Mexico. He lived on his mother's family's ranch in Sinaloa before moving with his family to live with his aunt in
Tijuana, where they lived for about two years. His father had left the family to go to the United States alone. Eventually, before
President Reagan's amnesty law, Esparza, his two brothers, and his mother illegally immigrated to the United States, traveling in the car of a "
coyote" smuggler. During the trip, they were stopped at a
checkpoint in
San Clemente, California, and he was held in a holding cell with his brothers, separate from their mother, for a short period of time. The family was deported. They attempted the trip again, but they were stopped and deported again. They tried a third time, using the passports of cousins who lived in California. They changed cars twice and were driven to
Carson, California. They were then moved to the
Boyle Heights neighborhood of
Los Angeles, where his father was living.

Aliso Village housing projects of Boyle Heights.

Theodore Roosevelt High School.
