After her arrest, Marcos hired a consulting firm to evaluate her medical credentials. Her graduate degree combined with her experience as a dental surgeon made her the functional equivalent of a medical dentist or D.M.D., the company told her. But if she wanted a U.S. license, she would need to redo all of that training, plus learn to speak better English. She opted to retire instead.

And we're suppose to feel sorry for her!

No!

She knew what the deal was when she came to our country. Either follow the law or leave. But, be advised, expect to go to jail when you break our laws.
