Cylvia Hayes, fiancee of Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber,
speaks at a news conference in Portland, Oct. 9. Hayes
has admitted that she violated the law when she married
an immigrant seeking to retain residency in the United
States. She said she was “associating with the wrong
people” while struggling to put herself through college
and regrets her actions.
