>> there is zero chance i will support this horrible open borders betrayal of america. >> reporter: meanwhile, the migrants keep coming. last year the united states spent more than $36 billion on immigration enforcement. more than for all other federal law enforcement combined. since the biden administration took office in 2021 there have been at least 6.3 million migrant encounters at u.s. borders. 2.4 million of those people have been let in, mainly asylum seekers apprehended, then turned loose to wait for their court dates, and eligible for work permits after six months. a big incentive to come. >> until your case is decided it will be a very long time, and that does function as a pull factor, yes. we're talking about anywhere from four to six, seven,

people into the country every year. 2/3 of those people have a relative in the united states. >> we as a nation are forcing people to show up at the border, get apprehended and apply for asylum. >> you could certainly state it that way. >> reporter: what have we got? a giant messy catch 22. thanks to an outdated and politicized immigration system. >> a nation says if you want to flee and you're fleeing oppression you should come. >> reporter: the accusation, that what candidate joe biden said in 2019 was a big green light for migrants. >> what if i told you not everybody wants to solve the problem? what if i told you it is very lucrative, you know, both financially now but also politically for so many people to be in this quagmire, to see these images? >> reporter: texas congressman tony gonzalez, a republican, represents the epicenter of the

allowed into the united states to do the work. do you know farmers who have left the dairy industry because they couldn't find the workers that they need? >> yes. honestly, this is -- we've been talking about this for 15 or 20 years. >> nothing happens. >> nothing happens. >> you always have to look at where the political incentives lie. >> reporter: jeh johnson was homeland security secretary, responsible for u.s. borders. in 2013, the last time bipartisan immigration reform legislation came close to passing. but then failed. >> and ever since then any effort to compromise has been deemed weak, has been deemed a political liability. >> reporter: we asked johnson about a fix. >> there's a lot you can do to surge resources, which solves the problem in the immediate term. in the short term. but so long as families are so

desperate to flee violence, poverty, corruption, they're going to keep coming. you've also got to continually send the message that if you come here we will send you back. >> reporter: his solution? very similar to the framework of the bipartisan border deal. >> address the things that serve as magnets in our immigration system. address the backlog. address the standards by which someone can qualify on the front end for asylum. and then go into that multiyear waiting period to see whether or not they ultimately get it. more immigration judges. more asylum officers. more technology. more border patrol agents. all of those things. but always with a view toward what our values are as americans. we are a nation of immigrants. >> reporter: we spoke to johnson at ellis island, the very symbol of our immigrant heritage.

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm christina ruffini in washington. thanks for staying with us. health officials are warning about a potentially deadly

condition linked to the countertop material found in millions of american homes. engineered stone, also called quartz, is popular because it's beautiful and can be made in a number of colors and finishes. but many of the workers who make those counters are getting sick from a material called silica. it can get in their lungs, leaving them to need lung transplants and at risk of death. anna werner spoke with several workers suffering from the deadly disease known as silicosis. >> reporter: once installed, these products are not dangerous to you the consumer. but if you're buying new countertops for your new home or renovation project, you should know, some workers are dying so you can have them. this wasn't what dennis williams expected at age 36. sitting home instead of working. waiting for a lung transplant to save his life. >> translator: you live with the pain. it's an inexplicable pain. i have pain every day.

>> reporter: the cause, silicosis, a deadly lung disease his doctors say resulted from work in a shop like this one, cutting and shaping countertops made of engineered stone. over the past decade engineered stone countertops made from crushed quartz have taken over the u.s. market. they come in a range of colors and patterns, and manufacturers talk up the product's advantages. >> resistant to cracks, stains, heat and chemicals. >> reporter: but compared to natural stone these slabs often contain much higher levels of crystalline silica, as much as 95%, a material that if inhaled can cause silicosis, which destroys the lungs. workers who cut and shape those slabs like these in videos we obtained often work in a haze of silica dust, and many are now becoming sick. >> every week or every two weeks i hear about a new case here. >> reporter: dr. jane fazio is a pulmonary critical care physician at a ucla medical center north of los angeles. >> for instance, yesterday i had a patient, he had a cough he didn't think anything of.

and i basically told him that he was going to need a lung transplant or he was going to die in the next couple of years. >> this was the conversation you had with a man just yesterday. >> this is a conversation i have almost weekly. >> reporter: a study she led last year found in california nearly a fifth of the workers who got silicosis on the job die. >> it almost sounds like an epidemic. >> it definitely is. it's an epidemic. >> reporter: often it's immigrant latino workers paying the price. along with williams, now waiting for his transplant, there's 56-year-old arturo batista, a father of three who says he has to keep working despite being diagnosed with silicosis. >> translator: i know it's doing me harm. but i have nowhere else to work. >> reporter: and 34-year-old gustavo reyes gonzalez, who had to have a lung transplant last february. >> translator: there's very little possibility that my life lasts long. the transplant is for a few years, nothing more. >> reporter: did anyone ever tell any of you that you needed protection from the dust? >> no.

>> no. >> no. >> reporter: they're now suing. their attorney, james nevin. >> many of these workers are in their 20s, their 30s, their 40s. and they will be dead within a year if they don't get a lung transplant. the manufacturers knew all that. they knew exactly this is what was going to happen. >> reporter: the manufacturers declined to comment on the lawsuits. an industry group, the silica safety coalition, said exposure to silica dust is preventable if fabrication shops comply with state and federal osha regulations and requirements. another, the engineered stone manufacturers association, said licensing programs and enhanced regulatory oversight are the keys to protecting workers. but in december australia banned engineered stone, finding compliance in the industry was insufficient and the product poses an unacceptable risk to workers. so what's it like in fabrication shops here? on this short street in an industrial area north of los angeles we walked past roughly a

dozen independent fabrication businesses and watched as the dust flew. when you look in these shops are you seeing the kind of protection that you would want to see mostly? >> no. no. >> reporter: on another street not far away 33-year-old joseph mondragon invited us into the stone-cutting shop his father started 40 years ago. as workers cut into slabs. the workers do try to keep the dust down in here, but literally it's everywhere. mondragon says he's been around the shop since he was 15 but is just now getting warnings about the dangers of engineered stone cutting. >> it's scary just to know that we're out here making a living and we could get sick over some dust that we didn't really have no knowledge of. >> reporter: just two weeks ago dennis williams finally got a double lung transplant. doctors say if he's lucky it may let him live to his mid 40s.

>> translator: i wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. >> this doesn't need to be happening. this is a completely preventable disease and it's killing people that all they want to do is go to work and provide for their families every day. you have the right to go to work and have your work not kill you, right? >> reporter: yes. cesar stone told us the health and safety of our employees, supplies and partners is our top priority. california has put temporary emergency regulations in place to try to protect workers. one of those manufacturers, cosentino, says it now exclusively sells lower silica products of 10% and 40%. but australian officials said in their reports it's not clear how protective those lower levels are for workers. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news."
