graham: well, the suwannee river basin in florida is relatively undeveloped, as opposed to south florida which was heavily developed in the 1950s after the huge drainage project that basically drained the everglades and created agricultural land and urban lands for people to live on. but 20, 30 years after that process, people started discovering the harm that it was doing to the everglade systems. narrator: over the last 100 years, the everglades have been systematically dammed and pumped for agricultural and urban development. 40% of florida's residents currently live in the area. and crops grown here supply half of the winter vegetables sold in the united states. but the cost to the environment has been astonishing. because of overdevelopment, the flow of freshwater has dramatically decreased, and excess nutrients from farms and ranches have changed the ecosystem to the point where the region is said to be on the verge of biological collapse. so, what we would like to do is understand the needs of the natural ecosystem as well as the needs of humans as welas the needs of agriculture s

to respond to your question about florida, the other significant thing that florida is doing and has passed out of the committee is the immunity provision. they are working on that -- there was the civil portion to save someone's brazen pillar -- someone sprays and kills a that theyeople, should not be civil immune, especially hitting an innocent bystander. i testified in front of the commission, and now they are stepping forward and changing the flawed law. may i add one other comment? william meggs was unable -- he is the second judicial circuit prosecutor out of florida. he was unable to attend today. his closing comments are so very important, and that was "should we have a duty to act reasonably toward one another? that was the law before "stand your ground," and the law that we should return. this makes it easy for the criminals to get away with the most heinous crimes." that is why, on behalf of prosecutors, i stand here today. >> thank you. senator cruz. >> thank you, mr. senator. i would like to enter in for the record a statement from senator cornyn of texas. i would like t

he has not left florida. he apparently lives in florida.g to keep him in prison, in jail. the bigger issue is the second question. is he a danger to the community? because here the accusation is he pointed a gun at his girlfriend. we all know he killed trayvon martin. he was acquitted of a crime in connection with that, but he did kill him. that's not in dispute. so given his record, given the fact also in september, he was involved in a domestic violence investigation that led to no charges, three other times he has been involved in traffic stops since his acquittal in the trayvon martin case. so the danger to community issue might be one the prosecutors h r a higher bail than would be otherwise called for in a case like this. it's not clear, as you say, what money he has or who might put money up for him to get him out of jail tonight. >> what's also interesting is that this he said, she said aspect of these 911 calls. alina muchado at the top of the hour played some of those calls. the girlfriend, now the ex-girlfriend saying he was out

steve harrigan has these you this developments from our south florida newsroom.d here. >> we are getting word now that the charges against one of these two middle school girls have been dropped. they were both supposed to be arraigned in central florida tomorrow on charges of aggravated stocking. -- stalking. one of the lawyers says the 1-year-old will not face any charges. it's likely the two girls could have faced several years probation for aggravated stalking. basically for bullying and cyber bullying a 12-year-old girl to death on september 10th when the 12-year-old rebecca sedgwick said she couldn't take it anymore. she jumped off osilo of abandoned cement factory to her death this was back in september. since then, the sheriff in that county has been very public in accusing both the two middle school girls and their families. so right now one seems to be off the hook. we are likely to it see the other, 14-year-old gwatney gwatney lupe shaw still aggravated stalking. >> steve harrigan in our florida newsroom. the state senator who survived a stabbing yester

in fact, florida produces about 64% of all citrus grown in the u.s.nd polk county produces more of it than any other county in the state, with about 30 million boxes harvested per year. chances are good if you had an orange today, it came from polk county and an immigrant worker picked it. >> the thing for me i don't understand is everyone says we got high unemployment rates but there are jobs that american citizens won't apply for. people could pick oranges, strawberries, pick whatever, but they don't. today, hopefully i'll gain some insight into exactly why that is. >> good morning. welcome. how may i help you? >> i wanted to speak to someone about getting a job in agricultural. >> okay. >> they help place workers in all kinds of industries, including the agricultural industry. it's the perfect place for me to find a job. people who pick produce like oranges can come here and basically find out what jobs are available within the community. >> morgan spurlock? >> yeah, what i want to find out is how hard is it to get one of these jobs? are there not
