Inlaws means suegros. Outlaws means people who are outside the law. Bandidos. Wanted has two meanings: you want something or: you are wanted by the law. (Like the bandidos.) So it's a play on words: you can't choose (you don't want) your inlaws, and outlaws are wanted by the police. I hope this clears things up. English isn't my first language either and I know it takes some work to understand jokes in a foreign language.

Thanks, I was going to try to explain it but you did much better than my effort. I remember years ago when a Japanese professor came into the English lab every day at a U.S. college where I worked and wanted me to explain jokes in English to him. He was the best student I ever had.
