judge gave daniela a month to leave the country voluntarily or be deported. later i.c.e. issued this statement. i.c.e. will not take any action against them while they pursue additional legal options. without legal status, sparing deportation is no permanent fix for students like din yella. >> many of them realize they can't get a job, that they are always looking over their shoulders. >> reporter: nearly 2 million young immigrants are in legal limbo like daniela pitting their hopes on the d.r.e.a.m. act. the d.r.e.a.m. act has failed in congress time and again. >> we're being qualified to go to four-year college, why not let us? >> as for now, daniela is left wondering where she will spend the next four years but possibly the rest of her life. >> all of america, for all of our kids.

arabia punched you, jerk. i'm serious. one of our girls ran up, bam. so i hope your face hurts and i hope it leaves a scar in the suspects got away in the back camry. the front license plate was covered and the young women who joined girl scouts for life lessons, this experience has left them confused and angry. >> we're going to find you, and i hope that god does something to you. >> reporter: crooks got away with about $200. to make matters worse the girl scouts will be responsible for paying back that money. >> the girls work very hard to sell girl scout cookies and the council covers a very large area. >> who steals from a girl scout, seriously, that's like the worst thing ever. >> the world didn't stop, but it might have felt like it did in the seconds before two bridges came crashing down in kansas.

yeah. those planned implosioned happen over interstate 4:35 just outside 430. two bridges to demolish. crews spent all night removing the debris. always like to see the demolition, right. >> well, you might want to look into booking your next trip here. there's an area in northwest china that chinese tv says is home to mohr than half the swans in the world. the grassland is series of lakes and mountains covered by water in china. the area sun populated by people. it's situated 6,000 feet above sea level. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, is it a t-shirt day, rob? >> well, in with three hours or so it should be. right now it's still jacket weather in san raphael. looking at clear skies. 30s and 40s in some of the north

bay valleys and some of the 72s this afternoon. the sunday day forecast is coming right up. hey guys, breakfast!

and welcome back. here's a live look from san bruno mountains looking back to san francisco out there this morning, and, it looks like we've got a plane or something flying underneath the live shot on the camera. san francisco is clear. one of the more mild spots we're seeing. 51 degrees right now, but as you head north across the golden gate bridge, still kind of chilly. 70 in santa rosa and nevada. 43 currently in san jose. the wind, not much of a factor, at least for now. later on this afternoon though, i think we're going to see the sea breeze pick back up, which will slowly start to cool things down on the coast. we should easily get to the mid-70s around the tri-valley. 60s to mid-70s for one more day

today and the sea breeze will really start take effect. increasing clouds and, yes, showers by monday night on into very early tuesday morning. high pressure keeping us quite clear, quite dry late in the day. we'll see that ridge start to break down which will allow more clouds to spill in as we go through your monday, and it looks like around midnight into early tuesday morning we'll see showers go on by snow for the sierras because you can see how quickly the system gets out of here. cool dry air will come rushing in which will help power up some gusty and chilly winds come tuesday. today, 70s around the bay area. low to mid-70s from san jose south. mid-70s around pleasanton, low to mid-70s around towards solano county and north bay, numbers close to 70 around san francisco. we should get that around 1:00 and towards this evening the sea breeze will pick up. low 70s across the inland north bay valley so today the warmest day we'll see for the first half the week and things will start

to cool down come monday, but the showers will likely hold off until monday night and very early tuesday. we'll see a good 10 to 20-degree drop in those numbers and this happens. as we get closer to the start of the spring, you'll see the roller coaster weeks where it's close to the 70s and 50s and 60s there on tuesday. the second half of the week a little bit warmer and maybe showers next week. >> this time of year when the dresser has to be stuffed with all kinds of clothes. >> thank you very much, rob. on today's "meese the press," super tuesday, the big prize now. how can mitt romney pull away, build on last week's victories and actually solidify himself as a front-runner? and if you didn't know, moderator david gregory is a california native, and earlier this week we got a chance to talk with him about our primary on june 5th and his ghastly love of the l.a. dodgers. >> if this republican race continues to follow the strange winding road and if there's momentum behind the idea of somebody else getting into the

race, there's a lot of people looking at that filing deadline for california to think, well, there's still a lot of delegates at stake if you look at the california primary, and there are a number of states that are late enough that can you make a big impact. i don't think that there's enough delegates at stake to actually get the required number, but you could certainly have a very big impact and force this to a convention showdown, all of which is a long shot, but i think the way this race is shaping up, you know, the primary in california is not necessarily irrelevant at all. >> now, you just had our governor, governor jerry brown, on your -- on "meet the press" this past weekend. when you had governor brown on "meet the press," this past weekend, what do you think he had to say about california, and how does that play on the national stage? >> well, you know, as a native californian, i mean, i understand that so many of the state's problems and challenges

and economic force of the states represent something that's a national motto and governor brown in his third term understands that as well so issues like immigration or the economy or the impact that the president's policies have had on the state certainly look very large and, you know, as i say, somebody from los angeles, you know, this question of whether some of california's problems are ungovernable i think is one that a lot of americans pay attention to, and certainly a lot of californians pay attention to. i think governor brown, we talked a little bit about that last week, somebody who is keenly aware of just how difficult some of these problems are. >> now, clearly folks across the country don't necessarily know the divide between northern california and southern california. you just admitted you're from l.a., and we are here in giants country. you root for the dodgers. we follow your tweet. difficult for you to watch them

win, watch the giants win in. >> it has been difficult because to be a dodger fan is to really strongly dislike the giants, and i do, and i always have, and i'll tell you something. the north/south divide, people need to understand, because i also worked in sacramento with some of your colleagues there, and, you know, in inland california, it's a resource issues, the north/south divide. in the bay area there's a kind of looking down their nose at southern california and i have been the victim of that because i wore my dodger cap to candlestick park and giants fans threw peanuts at me. everybody thinks that everybody in california is so california cool, you know. there's a lot of east coast brawling that goes on, you know, between these -- with these teams. >> listen, we know you take your show on the road sometimes. love to have you up here. won't look down your nose at you, unless you're at a dodgers/giants game. thanks so much, david. >> yeah, my pleasure. >> he was a good spot about that. trying to talk about the primaries, no. we like to talk about baseball.

"meet the press" is coming up next right after this newscast. catch david gregory there. thanks so much for minimum waging us a part of your morning. we'll see you next weekend. rob, of course, will be back at 5:00, 6:00 and 11:00. ♪ okay, so who ordered the cereal that can help lower cholesterol and who ordered the yummy cereal? yummy. that's yours. lower cholesterol. lower cholesterol. i'm yummy. lower cholesterol. i got that wrong didn't i?
