how does it affect nebraska?personally on the issue of immigration and how would you like to see it? guest: it does affect nebraska. plants inlot of we rely on that hispanic labor. we have had a good share of immigrants into both omaha, my district, as well as other cities throughout nebraska. where i am is, we need reform. we absolutely need to attack this issue. this is -- and i think pretty much the consensus of the republican conference, too -- it is hard to get to how do we deal with 11 million or 12 million here when we still have not resolved the issues of border security and those that are hiring the undocumented workers. stop -- secure the borders, have memorable -- a measurable goals along the border and have a tough e-e- verify, and i would go as far as biometrics, then we could get to the next phase. i personally want to see those in place or at least a trigger before we get to the next phases . if we do that, i am willing to put on to the table a path away, maybe not as an ship but at least a legal s

welcome to unincorporated white clay nebraska. not listed in u.s. census data but the population is said to be just 14. but on the strip that passes for a town, there are four liquor stores which sell more than 4 million cans of beer, malt liquor, juice they call it, a year. almost all of it to people from the res or who now just sleep and wait on the street. >> my die died because of alcohol. my friends little brother hung hisself because of alcohol and i watched a dude got shot because of alcohol. so i mean i lived it all. and that's how my life is. >> state of nebraska has no respect for our laws. no respect at all for our laws. that's how they look at us. we're just money, money in their pockets and meth is legal in nebraska. if i took a meth truck across that line, everyone went across and they went back, i'm sure nebraska would have something to say about that. same thing. >> you're not going in today, every other day but not today. >> and so tribal president joined protestors this summer trying to block the trucks from making their deliveries

nebraska's one of the nation's highest per capita state ward populations.tle down the search, and that yielded this interesting pattern. a pattern of red dots. give me one more hint. the red dots represent 33 boys between the age of 10 and 17 who became wards of the state this year, all abandoned at major hospitals. the state safe haven law. wait a minute. i thought the safe haven law was so that women could leave unwanted babies in hospitals instead of leaving them in dumpsters. that's correct, but initially there was no age limit in nebraska. he's right. the law now just covers infants, but we still get teenagers left at hospitals with a note pinned to their jacket. some are even driven in from out of state. now, monica archer, our first victim, worked at this hospital, northern omaha medical. if the unsub's parents abandoned him there, it's probably where they met. [kids all talking at once] oh, bummer. hey, did you get "god of war"? no, but i heard. i heard it's awesome. jeremy, will you dial your home number? i'm just gonna leave a message saying that

suffered nebraska because jobs disappeared. slime, thefor pink demand and strong for it drastically. people that my supervising veterinarian who lost their jobs. he was angry about that. he said this is one of the cleanest thing that comes out of the factory because it has been subjected to pneumonia and other things. in his opinion this was wisteria triumphing over reason in regards to what we put in our god -- bodies for food. define differing opinions about that. canada will not allow meat products treated with ammonia because of safety concerns. america seems to allow a lot of other things that country's do not. such as the sub-therapeutic use of the levels of antibiotics as cattle are growing up. as they are fed these, even though they're not sick, it helps them grow. there is a lot of concern this weakens the drugs, which are such an amazing -- which are so important to human health that it weakens them when we get sick. you find a lot of differences of onnion about this, depending what part of the country you live in and

in 1998, nebraska was the first state to adopt a rule requiring schools to have an epipen on hand.f a student goes into severe shock, it's the teacher's responsibility to administer the device. faculty members who give injections are not held responsible if something goes wrong. but teachers must receive regular training on how to use the epipen. >> where's the only place we can get them? >> thigh. >> the outer thigh. so we go to that area. and how long do we hold it? >> ten seconds. >> ten seconds. we let that medication get in. >> reporter: andrea holka runs a group that spreads information about food allergies. her group has even investigated accidents at schools and held study sessions so a more rigorous protocol could be implemented. >> this is, you know, a life-threatening asthma attack or a life-threatening severe allergy. you have to act so quickly due to those tragic deaths at school, the school community reached out to medical professionals. they came together, and they came up with a protocol. >> reporter: the countermeasures have had good results. for example, high scho

at this nebraska elementary school, students' fingers are scanned to identify children who have foodergies. first-grader, coleman savage, is allergic to peanuts. whenever he is scanned, the computer flashes a warning. >> this comes in very handy when -- especially at the beginning of the school year, when we have new kids coming and i don't really know the kids that well. >> reporter: children with peanut allergies sit at a designated table, where they eat nonallergic food. with this arrangement, it's not as likely the children will come into contact with food that contains peanuts. but if a child should eat a dangerous food and find breathing difficult, or lose consciousness, the staff are prepared. they can administer an epipen. in 1998, nebraska was the first state to adopt a rule requiring schools to have an epipen on handled. if a student goes into severe shock, it's the teacher's responsibility to administer the device. faculty members who give injections are not held responsible if something goes wrong. the teachers must receive regular training on how to use the epipen. >> wh

but this week, health investigators in nebraska said the outbreak there originated from prepackaged salad mix that came through national distribution channels. now the c.d.c. and f.d.a. are looking for the exact source of that contamination. iowa officials also said a orepackaged salad mix is to blame but neither state is naming the company or companies involved. both states cite laws preventing them from naming companies if they believe the contaminated product is no longer a public health threat. officials believe the contaminated food is likely out of the food supply. matteis was given antibiotics and is slowly improving. >> i'm skittish now about going back to buying foods. i don't know what to buy. i don't where to go eat. and, you know, actually, i mean, i'm still not out of the woods here. i'm still feeling poorly. >> schieffer: so, jon, here is my question-- if they know where this contaminated salad mix in iowa and nebraska is probably coming from, why aren't they saying that? are they putting business interests ahead of public health? >> reporter: bob, we've been pushing the f.d

that causes stomach illness. 467 cases have been reported in 16 states-- more than half in iowa and nebraskathe cases in those two states were traced to tainted salad from mexico, but the search for the source in the other states has been hampered by a lack of the latest technology. dr. jon lapook spoke with the head of the c.d.c. >> reporter: how do you know that the parasite in iowa and nebraska is the same in the other states? >> we don't know that all of the parasites are the same unless we can track it down and understand it better, we can't figure out where it's coming from and we may not be able to prevent it as well as we could otherwise. >> reporter: dr. thomas frieden, director of the centers for disease control, says the technology to do that exists but the agency doesn't have it. frieden says the c.d.c. needs equipment that would allow investigators to identify a microorganism's genetic makeup, or genome. >> we need to get to the next generation of disease detective work. it used to take months to sequence just a part of a microbe's genome. now a piece of equipment like this can

>> guest: it does affect nebraska. we have a lot of plants and agriculture but to rely on and we have had a good share of immigrants in both omaha and my district as well as other cities throughout nebraska so we need reform and make them attack that issue. where i am and i think this is the consensus of the republican conference, too. it's hard to get to how we deal with the 11 or 12 million when we haven't resolved the issues of border security and those that are hiring undocumented workers? so if we can secure the borders with a measurable goals along the border and then they have a tough i would go as far as using biometrics then we can get to the next phase. i personally want to see those in place or a trader before we get to the next. i'm willing to put on the table a pathway maybe not to citizenship but a legal status. but we have to have the border security first. >> host: when you hold town meetings what is the number-one issue brought up? >> guest: i have no doubt that during my town halls in august that immi
