Lydia is played by Rita Moreno who plays Anita in West Side Story where she signs a song "America". This is referenced at approximate 22 mins where Lydia says "I like to be in Amercia" - lyrics from that song.
Lydia's line, "I like to be in America" is an obvious tribute to Rita Moreno's iconic role, Anita, in West Side Story.
