125 feet long and 40 feet deep. so far it is providing them one of the best chances of reaching any possible survivors. search and rescue crews are looking for void spaces, possible pockets beneath the rubble where someone may be alive. they are now aided by teams from mexico and israel. he is commander of the israeli team. >> it's a difficult site. we call it site in israel, it is a pancake. >> reporter: what gives them hope is past experience. the team rescued a 64-year-old man four days after haiti's 2010 earthquake. this is day four of the surfside condo collapse. >> so there's hope? >> yeah, there's always hope. >> reporter: but for some families of the more than 150 unaccounted for, the worst fears have been confirmed. at least nine are known to have been killed. among those identified so far, 54-year-old staci he e fang whose son was rescued. 83-year-old antonio lozano,

79-year-old gladys lozano and manuel lafont. the mayor says the community is united as it supports the families of the missing and the deceased. >> we have grief counselors. we have clergy of every sort. we feel the support of the whole world for us right here in surfside. >> reporter: mike noriega's grandmother hilde is among the missing. they found family photographs in the debris. >> my grandmother, she definitely was a very powerful soul, a very powerful soul. and if she's underneath that rubble alive, it will be a miracle of the ages. and if she's not,tion i know th i know her soul is in heaven. >> reporter: questions remain about the 12-story structural problems. it could take months to determine the cause. a survey from 2018 indicated abundant cracking in concrete columns and major structural damage to a concrete slab. it did not warn of a collapse. a lawyer for the condo

association confirmed to cbs news a month later at a condo board meeting, a city building official told residents it appears the building is in very good shape. >> once we understand, i am guaranteeing you legislation will be taking place so this will never happen again. >> reporter: having machinery has also been brought in to help lift some of those large pieces of rubble. they will be hauled to a warehouse for forensic evaluation. jericka? >> manuel bojorquez in surfside, florida. thank you. lawmakers from both parties in washington are expressing skepticism over a tenuous infrastructure agreement, wondering if it will even make it to the president's desk. christina ruffini joins us from the white house with what has been an interesting week. >> reporter: yeah, good evening, jericka. the phrase infrastructure week has become a bit of a punch line in washington because it's so often talked about and so rarely gets done. now after finally paving the way towards a bipartisan deal, it

appears that pavement is starting to crack. >> the president is going to honor his word and we're going to hope they're going to honor their word. >> reporter: on "face the nation" this morning, white house senior adviser cedric richmond said the president would stand by the $1.2 trillion infrastructure deal he made with republicans. >> we should agree, move on, create progress for the american people. >> reporter: the white house is having to clarify its position after president biden said last week he wouldn't sign the deal unless it was accompanied by a separate measure to fund what he calls human infrastructure. democratic priorities like child care, free community college, and green energy. republicans said that was never part of the bargain. >> you can get whiplash by trying to follow joe biden on this. >> reporter: the fight might now come from progressives in the president's own party. >> we're here to make sure that he is successful in making sure that we do have a larger infrastructure plan. >> reporter: who think the compromise bill compromised too much. >> the real challenge is whether the democrats can get their act together and get it on his desk.

and i think the battle that's going on is not with republicans. >> reporter: the white house even had to issue a statement yesterday clarifying that president biden wasn't saying he'd veto the agreement if it made it to his desk. unclear still if those progressive democrats will vote against the smaller infrastructure bill if it comes to the floor. jericka? >> christina ruffini reporting for us tonight from the white house. thank you. now for a look at the dangerous and historic heat scorching the west, we turn now to meteorologist jeff berardelli. jeff, good evening. >> good evening, jericka. good evening, everyone. quite simply, this is the most dangerous and most intense heat wave i have seen in my career. in the pacific northwest. in fact, it's a very large heat dome. it's about a one in 1,000-year event that's taking place across ore oregon, and also into british columbia. temperatures about 40 degrees above normal in places like portland and seattle. all-time record highs already broken. we're looking at 112 on monday

in portland, 108 in seattle, but a little bit cooler as we head into tuesday along the immediate coast. but the heat wave is going to stick around several days over inland parts of the pacific northwest. and in the east is not nearly as intense, but it's no picnic. what feels like temperatures this week near 100 degrees. jericka? >> jeff berardelli for us. thank you. the first cruise ship to leave an american port since covid lockdowns departed saturday from port everglades, florida. our janet shamlian is on board and joins us from the gulf of mexico. janet, good evening to you. >> reporter: jericka, the stakes are high here on the celebrity edge skbwhich has just started 7-day caribbean cruise. we're seeing super spreaders like covid. the industry is out to prove sailing alongside thousands of others is safe. an historic moment for a battered industry. >> we are back. we are back. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: the celebrity edge, the first big cruise ship to leave a u.s. port since the

pandemic. >> can you confirm that everything is true and accurate on that card? >> reporter: a modified experience. the boarding procedure has changed in a big way. before i could even get a pass to get on this ship, i had to upload not just my passport, but also my vaccination card. but it's not required because florida bans businesses from mandating it. on this ship, running at 40% capacity or close to 1200 passengers, all adults have been vaccinated. a few dozen children under age 12 have not. >> i've been home sick for it, so i'm glad to be back. >> reporter: it's a reset, but also a gamble for cruise companies obliterated by the pandemic. more than half a million jobs lost. billions in revenue gone. >> we understand covid has not been eliminated in society, and it's not going to be eliminated on board cruise ships. there's no way you can make it zero. >> reporter: richard thain runs

the cruise line. if vaccinated, cases can be controlled. >> our objective is to be safer than anywhere else on land. >> reporter: those famous >> reporter: those famous buffets, no longer self-serve. it's dry. there's no dry time. makes us wonder why we booked fifteen second ad slots. do you struggle with occasional nerve aches in your hands or feet? there's no dry time. try nervivenerve relief from the world's #1 selling nerve care company. nervive contains alpha lipoic acid to relieve occasional nerve aches, weakness and discomfort. try nervivenerve relief.

♪ >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." and welcome back to the overnight news. i'm jericka duncan. farmers across this country are facing a summer of labor shortages. this is happening as thousands of farm workers are being refused entry into the united states. luke burbank looks at the vital link between the nation and the nation's food supply. >> man, we're trying to clean up everything. >> thank you. >> reporter: something unusual happened a few months ago. in an asparagus field on the oregon/idaho border.

>> hi, everybody. >> hi. >> reporter: 6,000 people showed up on a saturday for the chance to pick some free veggies. >> i'm a big fan on community, so it's cool to see so many people out here. >> reporter: do you guys like eating asparagus? >> no: >> no. >> yes. >> it's hard and i'm 80 years old. >> reporter: some needed the food. some just wanted to get outside on a spring day. but most had never picked asparagus before. >> i hope i'm doing it okay. >> reporter: it looks like you are. >> okay. >> reporter: which is where shea myers came in. you w >> you want to cut it deep enough so it doesn't show any more. >> reporter: myers, whose family owns the field, had been sleepless for days, and getting ever more agitated on tiktok. >> i need this video to go out for people to understand the ramifications of what's going on at the border and the lack of labor that we have in this country. >> reporter: agitated that he couldn't hire enough people to

pick the asparagus crop, some $180,000 worth. he gave it away and created a viral moment. >> we never thought 6,000 -- wasn't even in the realm of reality. >> reporter: myers says that one day cost him and his family their entire asparagus profit for the year. but that's what can happen when you're reliant on an increasingly scarce labor force coming in from mexico. >> farm laborers are so critical to our actual life on a daily basis. i mean, they're picking the food that's on your dinner table. >> reporter: that day in april, shea's workers from mexico were stuck at the border because of a hold up with their visas. the h 2 a guest worker program gives agricultural workers temporary visas to come from abroad if farmers can't find enough domestic workers.

in case you were wondering, myers' farm pays around $16 an hour for farm work. >> it's hard work. and culturally, as a nation, we look down, i think, on fieldworkers and the type of work that's done in the field for some reason. and so it is -- it's a catch 22. >> reporter: myers and farmers across america are grappling with the fact that it's almost impossible to grow fruits and vegetbles without farm workers. myers is a third generation farmer. his grandfather started the farm in eastern oregon with a single borrowed tractor, and some rented farmland. after returning from the korean war. nearly 50 years later, owahee produce as it's known is a state-run operation. how many onions do you produce in the year? >> we will produce 2

million-50-pound bags. 2 million bags. >> reporter: something from the 200 million onion range if we're going to do it on an onion basis? that's a lot of i don't knows and every single one of those onions is photographed by this $3 million machine. operated by the steady hand of eliana ramirez who does qc or quality control for the farm. she got her start in the field. >> i remember i was planting onions. and one of my friends calls me and she's like, hey, there's one position open for qc. do you think that you can do it? i was like, i don't know because my english is not that good. >> reporter: myers convinced ramirez that she could do it. and even gave her time off to complete a college degree while she was working. >> they are giving me some opportunities that actually i never had in other jobs.

the qualities that i have before actually discovering by myself. >> reporter: myers says he feels it's important that agricultural workers have something to work towards. >> as an employer, i want people to have a future, and i've got to know they have a future because it's not very rewarding to do your job weeding in the feelgd fields or cutting asparagus or pitching water melons, whatever they might doing and consider or think they have nowhere to go from there. >> what time did you come out to the field this morning? >> 6:00. >> reporter: back in 1960, when edward r. murrow documented the polite of farm workers, in the documentary "harvest of shame." >> these are the unprotected people, the under educated, under clothed, under fed. we should like you to meet your fellow citizens who harvest the food for the best-fed nation on

earth. >> reporter: migrant workers followed the harvest. >> what do you want most for your children? >> well, i'd like for them to have a career of whatever they want to be. >> reporter: these days murrow's migrant worker have mostly moved up the economic ladder, leaving agriculture to immigrant workers. with some, agricultural economists estimating that in order to get americans to work in the field, farmers would have to pay something like $23 an hour. >> people are like eating their breakfast right now, what are the chances that vegetable that they're having was picked by somebody who isn't legally documented in this country? >> 90% brobably. probably. it's the majority. the h 2 a program, most are undocumented. >> most would agree it doesn't make sense we depend on a work force who can't even remain here legally. not easy for the farmers, it's not easy for the workers. it's far from ideal.

>> reporter: diane is an agricultural economist at montana state university who has studied immigration and agriculture. >> there is currently a bill in congress to try to reform h 2 a program to make it easier for producers to use that program to provide a path to citizenship for those who participate in the program. unfortunately, there have not been better solutions for many decades. >> reporter: but reforming h 2 a wouldn't actually help undocumented farm workers, which myers says are the majority and are not actually legally permitted to work in the united states. >> as human beings, how can we argue against them being able to have the same opportunities that we have? >> reporter: for myers, a self-described staunch conservative, one of the first changes he'd make would be to give immigrant undocumented workers a path to citizenship. >> they came here with a dream. they came here to make a difference for their family.

they came here to improve their lives. they put food on everyone's table. they should have a way, a path to citizenship. there's no question they should have a path to sit sense citize. >> reporter: the simple fact is a lot of the foods we eat in this country are picked by people who are often invisible to us. people like maricella who we caught up with while picking asparagus. she had a message for people watching this story. [ speaking foreign language ] >> translator: well, nothing more than don't be racist toward us. if you'd like to come here, we can teach you to cut asparagus. nothing more. we just want to come here and work. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.
