Why are the Suarez Mexican?

I just realized, none of the actors playing Suarez family members have links to Mexico (Hondurian, Puerto Rican, Cuban). The original Betty La Fea, on which the show is based, was Colombian. What was the logic to make the family Mexican? Wouldn't, say, Puerto Rican had made more sense given their ancestries and that they are NY based? Although granted, America Ferrera doesn't look very Puerto Rican... But just wondering why that choice.
