Kitzhaber's girlfriend admits illegal '97 marriage to Ethiopian

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN 6) — Oregon First Lady Cylvia Hayes admitted she had a third marriage to an Ethiopian man to help him get his citizenship, and said Gov. John Kitzhaber had no idea about this event in her life until Wednesday afternoon. At a press conference Thursday, Hayes, 46, apologized to “John, the person I love above all others.” She said she needs to take some “personal time to reflect and look at my relationship with John.” Kitzhaber, 67, and Hayes announced their engagement earlier this summer. A Willamette Week story questions whether the marriage to the Ethiopian man was legitimate or intended to help him achieve citizenship. There are also questions whether her work for the governor violates state ethics laws because it may overlap with her private consulting work. At the press conference, Hayes said she needs to focus on her personal relationships. “Gov. Kitzhaber had nothing to do with this, and Cylvia Hayes made a very serious mistake,” she said. KOIN 6 News will have more information later in the day.

You can go to prison for that. Major league fraud against the U.S. government and INS. Both she and the Ethiopian guy should go to jail.

I am sure she reported this $5,000 on her 1997 tax returns. Right?

The answer to your question... http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/10/cylvia_hayes_discusses_her_thi_1.html In an emotional press conference at 4 p.m. Thursday, Hayes added that she did not declare the income in her taxes.

She was asked this during the press conference that was just on, she said no. No surprise.

I used to work with Japanese ladies who were married to Americans. Immigration officers went to their homes and interviewed the ladies and husbands separately. They were asked questions like “What side of the bed to you sleep on?” “What kind of underwear does your husband wear?” The immigration officers want to make sure that the Japanese ladies are not in a sham marriage. Apparently U.S. immigration authorities do not care about sham marriages involving people from Africa or from Muslim countries. What kind of problems do we have with Japanese immigrants??

Other than those marriages, she stated that there were a few hundred “marriages for overnight room discounts” when she worked the bars in Portland.
