for the morning news and, of course, "cbs this morning." from the broadcast center here in newew york city, i'm michell miller. it's friday, october 26th, 2018. this is the "cbs morning news." following leads, the search for whoever set at least ten explosive devices has taken investigators to florida. immigration is a key issue ahead of the midterm elections. those living on the u.s./mexico border weigh in. and a proposal to bring down the cost of prescription drugs. good morning from the "cbs

morning news" room here in new york. good to be with you, i'm anne-marie green. investigators are zeroing in on florida for whoever sent explo democrats and critics of president trump. they arere warning there could more bombs out there. ten suspicious packages have been intercepted around the country. no one has claimed responsibility. laura podesta is here with more. >> reporter: good morning. president trump was up early this morning tweeting a new attack on the media regarding the bombs. he wrote in part, funny how lowly cnn and others can criticize me at will, even blaming me for the current spade of bombs. yet, when i criticize them they go wild and scream it's just not presidential. now, because none of mail devices went off, part of whlawn today is to figure out if the bombs were intended to hurt

people, or if the goal was to spread fear and divisiveness ahead of the midterms. they say this postal facility in opa locka, florida, is where some of the suspected bombs sent to critics of president trump were processed. kirstjen neilson said yesterday some of the packages originated in florida. several prominent democrats were targeted. two packages were sent to former vice president joe biden. >> we got to turn off this hate machine. we got to come together. >> reporter: all of the packages had a return address of florida congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz. >> the last couple of days have been trying for many of us, to say the least. as we know, there will always be those who use distraction, threats, and even violence to accomplish their ends. >> reporter: none of the devices detonated and investigators are still trying to determine if they were not meant to go off or were poorly designed. >> it's something that should be

taken seriously. we are treating them as live devices. >> reporter: in the wake of discoveries, there's heightened awareness of potential threats. last night part of the time warner center in new york city where cnn is located was briefly evacuated because of two unattended packages. and the bomb squad was called to a building in los angeles where senator feinstein has offices. both were false alarms. they warn more package bombs could still be found. and they raise questions about the ability of the u.s. postal service to intercept explosives. x-ray and biohazard detection have had some success in recent years. but they warn the sheer volume of mail makes it impossible to catch everything. anne-marie. >> thank you so much. president trump is considering an executive order that would shutdown the u.s.

border to the migrants making its way through mexico. they say the order would deny the migrants the opportunity to seek asylum. the administration is also following through on a promise to send more troops to the border. paula reid has more. >> reporter: less than two weeks before the midterm election, trump administration is expected to deploy hundreds of additional troops to the u.s./mexico border. they will not have authority to apprehend illegal immigrants but will work on other aspects of security, reinforcing barriers and providing reconnaissance along the border. the deployment will include engineers, medical personnel and pilots. president trump has vowed to stop the caravan making its way through mexico tweeting, i'm bringing out the military for this national emergency. at a rally in wisconsin, the president also used the issue to rile his conservative base. >> wait till you see what happens over the next couple of weeks. you're going to see a very secure border. you just watch. >> reporter: the president has framed the upcoming election as

a referendum on immigration. >> we are about law and order and borders and jobs. and they are about allowing crime to enter our country with open borders. >> reporter: but the caravan which began in honduras and is now in southern mexico is still weeks away from reaching the u.s. border and the number of migrants in the group has dwindled significantly over the past few days from its peak of roughly 7,000. >> until we can have a wall and proper security, we're going to be guarding our border with the military. >> reporter: the 800 troops will join the roughly 2,000 national guardsmen the president dispatched in april. it's not clear if the additional deployment will also be guardsmen or active duty. paula reid, cbs news, the white house. immigration is a key issue for voters as we approach the midterm elections. meg oliver talked with people in a texas district that shares the most border with mexico. >> reporter: as the country watches thousands of central

american migrants inch toward the u.s. border, martha torres can't help but think of her own family who immigrated from mexico. >> it makes me think the heartbreak and the struggle that's going on on the other side of the border. >> reporter: she lives in texas's 23rd congressional district where the federal government is holding hundreds of unaccompanied minors who crossed the board in a tent city. arrests of illegal immigrants along the mexico border jumped 30% in september. >> we need border security policies that are strong. >> reporter: jones is running to represent southwest texas in washington. >> we have to age haveicy that'se and erd wh wi parts oident trump's border policy. >> i do believe thatin 30-foot high concrete structure from sea to shining sea is the

most expensive and least effective way to do security. >> this is a swing district stretching 800 miles on the san antonio border. the majority of residents are hispanic, but historically voter turnout is low. could immigration change this election? >> no. look, it's an issue that people have been dealing with with 820 miles of the border. >> ortiz jones agrees. voters in southwest texas have other concerns. >> we're the most uninsured state in the country. >> reporter: she expects voters are thinking more about healthcare than immigration in the 23rd district. meg oliver, cbs news, san antonio, texas. president trump says he's taking steps to lower prescription drug prices. he said other countries have rigged the system to americans pay more. this would allow u.s. citizens to pay the same prices other
