Re: “” Sept. 8 editorial.
I clearly and unequivocally disagree with Saturday’s editorial regarding asking the governor to intercede for a felon. The woman in question broke the law by entering this country illegally from Peru and buying stolen documents so she could work here in the United States and saying the usual excuse: “Yo no sabía que fueron robados.” (“I didn’t know they were stolen.”) Really?
Now she’s hiding out in a church and wanting the governor to pardon her for her felony — yes, felony! The governor should follow the law for which he was sworn to uphold. If the law says she is to be deported, then that would be the right thing to do!

Both Ingrid Latorre and Jeanette Vizguerra are hoping to stay in the US though they entered the US illegally at least eight years ago. What your article on Latorre and Vizguerra does not say is that they, after at least eight years in the US, had to use an interpreter in their interviews.
The first rule of assimilation is to learn the language. There is no excuse after eight years to not have a substantial grasp of the English language. To not do so is to simply play the victim card.
