commercial vehicles. 110 workers here assemble t parts b 200 contract employees in china. it's a $100 million business. if the president makes good on his threat to further expand tariffs on chinese imports, the price of one of irons' premium systems could increase by a thousand dollars, and the people who will pay are his customers. the trade war has created something businessmen just hate. uncertainty. >> uncertainty. i'm jonathan vigliotti in southern california where that uncertainty is also threatening common household products lie, those at speers tv, owned by the same family for three generations. i walk in and say show me your u.s.-made televisions, which ones would you show me? >> you would have to go back 20 years. there are no more u.s. televisions made here anymore. >> reporter: alen harikian runs a tv shot with his father.

this is the "cbs overnight news." >> welcome to the "overnight news." i'm don dahler. president trump is vowing to make the u.s. immigration system the envy of the world. he unveiled his latest strategy to deal with a flood of migrants at the southern border. the president wants to welcome more skilled workers, fewer families. and he wants to require all immigrants to learn english. what's the chance of it getting through congress? paula reid has the odds. >> we are proposing an immigration plan that puts the jobs, wages, and safety of american workers first.

>> reporter: the proposal is a shift. >> if cow want to become an american citizen, it will be clear exactly what standard we ask you to achieve. it will be made crystal clear. >> reporter: the president's plan would favor younger applicants with specific skills or higher education who can speak english and pass a civics exam. the current system admits mostly people with relatives already in the u.s. >> a big proportion of those immigrants must come in through merit and skill. >> reporter: house speaker nancy pelosi objected to how the plan defines "merit." >> it is really a condescending word. they're saying family is without merit? are they saying most of the people who have ever come to the united states in the history of our country are without merit because they don't have an engineering degree? >> reporter: the plan does not address the pressing challenge of the 11 million people living in the u.s. illegally, or the so-called dreamer, people who were brought to the country

illegally by their parents. democrats won't support a plan that does not address those issues. thinking sham proposal is dead on arrival. it is a mockery of what america means. neither donald trump's grandfather nor my father would be able to come to america under this proposal. >> reporter: some republicans say they're disappointed this plan would not reduce legal immigration and would continue to issue about a million visas a year. in response to all this blowback from capitol hill, a senior administration official says this is just an opening offer. members of congress got a closed door briefing on the situation with iran. tensions are rising. an aircraft carrier battle group and heavy bombers are on the way to the region, and president trump says he hopes we won't go to war. here is david martin. >> reporter: the carrier strike group headed by the uss lincoln has arrived in the arabian sea south of iran, just as president

trump tried to calm fears the u.s. is on a path to war. an aide to acting defense secretary shanahan said the president has told him he does not want war with iran, a message he repeated in public to reporters. >> mr. president, are we going to war with iran? >> i hope not. >> reporter: earlier in the day, the president had tweeted "i'm sure that iran will talk soon." that might ease war jitters, but it does not solve the problem of u.s. intelligence warnings iran is preparing to attack americans based in iraq. those warnings began with an israeli intercept of an iranian commander ordering militias he controls in iraq to make preparations. in an interview with "face the nation" moderator margaret brennan, iran's ambassador to the u.n. denied it all. >> fake intelligence, which has been the root cause of all these events should be tackled as soon as we get rid of these fake

intelligence, all of us will be in a much better situation. >> reporter: u.s. intelligence also has satellite photos of the iranian port of chabahar, which show what analysts say are containers for short range ballistic missiles loaded on boats for transport to an unknown location. the u.s. warning got some backup from a key ally today when the british foreign secretary tweeted, "we share the same assessment of the heightened threat posed by iran." another state is moving to limit access to abortions. missouri's republican-led senate passed a bill to make the procedure illegal at eight weeks of pregnancy. the move comes just one day after alabama's governor signed the strictest abortion law in the nation. adriana diaz is in st. louis. >> reporter: after missouri lawmakers battled through the night -- >> the time of choice is the time of conception. >> reporter: the state passed a bill that would outlaw abortions

other states that have proposed so-called heartbeat bills in 2019 alone. four states have signed them into law. just yesterday, alabama passed a near total been on abortions, the most restrictive law in the country. anti-abortion organizer kathy forck hopes missouri's bill will create a path to overturn roe v. wade. >> we care about these women. we want them to be safe. and i think the legislature is doing everything they can to keep these women safe. the field for the democratic presidential nomination seems to get more crowded by the day. the latest candidate, new york city mayor bill de blasio. ed o'keefe reports. >> donald trump must be stopped. i've beaten him before, and i will do it again. >> reporter: new york mayor bill de blasio is hoping to trade city hall for the white house. >> well, i intend to break the mold, and i intend to make history, and i intend to win. >> reporter: but more than seven in ten new yorkers say he shouldn't run. >> he can't run the country. he can't run the city.

>> reporter: members of the police union protested at his times square announcement. a hometown newspaper laughed at his prospects, and a famous fifth avenue resident mocked him as the worst mayor and a joke. de blasio joins a record-breaking field. 14 current and former members of congress, three current and former governors, two other mayors, a former cabinet secretary, a business executive, a self-help author, and former vice president joe biden. he maintains a commanding lead, and now some rivals are starting to target him, like california senator kamala harris, touted by some as a potential running mate, this week she said it should be the other way around. >> i think that joe biden would be a great running mate. >> reporter: and if two dozen candidates isn't enough, former georgia state lawmaker stacey abrams is still teasing she might still get in. >> i do believe i can get into the conversation as late as the fall and still have a real chance to win.

>> reporter: and their insurance company, farmer's says they will soon stop reimbursing them for those fill-ups. >> they said we'll get one more refill and we're done. and i said but it's contaminated. they said that's not our policy. >> we tell our girls no more baths.showers. >> reporter: jesse and thomas thompson, whose house was the only one on their street toe survive the fire also don't take chances with their tank. >> we just wanted some security. >> reporter: securing safe water is also key for paradise businesses and schools that hope to eventually open. there were about 1200 businesses in town before the fire. so far about 10% have reopened, including two coffee shops and one restaurant. >> we are an essential service and an essential part of the town to rebuild, and we take that very seriously. >> reporter: while cleanup crews around town are a welcome sign, homeowners know fixing the water system is crucial to rebuilding their community.
