We do hire offduty cops, but its inconsistent. Its different people. Reporter Randall Marshall is with the Alabama Branch of the aclu. The problem is it violates the First Amendment to the constitution in that it establishes a single religion that is above all others in the state of alabama and gives them the authority of state government. Reporter but if it does pass, no other church in the state would have what briarwood anticipates would be a twoperson department all its own. I asked a number of churches, would you care to be a part of this, and they said no. Reporter the church would not have a jail. Those officers would operate only on church property. And if you wanted to file a complaint against the officers, youd have to report to the church, because they would be reporting to the church.

But is the medication causing this . Dr. Jon lapook has some new research. Reporter the fear has been that antidepressant medication during pregnancy somehow increases the risk of autism spectrum disorder, but two studies out today find that the cause may not be the drugs themselves.

And we found that theres no difference in the rates of autism in those siblings. Reporter both studies found an increased risk of asd. But the Research Suggests that other factors linked to depression may to be blame. Factors could include more psychological problems. It could include genetic factors.

After a twomile chase, the pursuing troopers maneuvered the white ford fusion into a spinout. Did they see him commit suicide . Were they that close . I know the one trooper who i spoke to who did the pit maneuver saw him pull the gun out and shoot himself. Reporter because facebook was used or abused in this case, theres been a debate on what responsibility social media may have to police itself. An issue addressed briefly today by facebook chief executive, mark zuckerberg. We have a lot of work, and we will keep doing all we can to prevent tragedies like this from happening. Reporter back in cleveland, where the murder took place, police chief Calvin Williams went further.

This is not something that should have been shared around the world, period. Reporter a death row inmate in arkansas spared from execution minutes before the clock ran out. The u. S.

President trump is taking action on a Signature Campaign promise to put American Workers first. The president visited a tool factory in wisconsin to sign the socalled buy american hire american executive order. The order aims to boost the purchase of americanmade products used in federal projects. It also tightens the rules on a visa program for highlyskilled workers thats popular in the tech industry. Last month, 60 minutes analyzed the h 1 b visa. Reporter a Telecom Engineer in San Francisco Medical Center was called to a meeting at the university with about 80 of his i. T. Coworkers. What did they say to you . Were sorry to inform you that as of february 28th, youre no longer going to have a job. Were going to outsource your position to a company in india. Reporter to a company in india. Yes, sir. Reporter he was told he could stay on the job, get paid for four more months and get a bonus if he trained his replacement. Now im told i am not only going to lose my job but i have to train these people to take my job. Reporter are you angry . Pissed that exceeds angry. Im really not a violent guy. I love people, but i envision myself backhanding the guy as hes sitting next to me trying to learn what i know, and im like, god, please dont let them send anybody to sit next to me to shadow me. I really dont want to do this. Reporter he and his colleagues staged a protest outside the Medical Center. His fellow worker, kurt ho is losing his job, too. He had just trained his replacement from india. I think for once were going to stand up as americans and say enough is enough. Were not going to take it anymore. Thank you for standing up for what you believe in. Reporter their rally was organized by this woman, Florida Attorney Sarah Blackwell. This is about the Companies Making the decision that you are worthless to them. Reporter she represents hundreds of u. S. Workers who were fired and replaced by Foreign Workers with h1b visas. When you tell someone their real reason for getting rid of these jobs is for cheap, foreign labor, that should offend everyone. Reporter they have to train the worker who is going to take their job. Right. They are told by their company, if you dont train this person in a way that we approve of them being trained, then you dont get your severance. Reporter the ucsf Medical Center is a highlyregarded staterun institution. Outsourcing the jobs could save 30 million taxpayer money. Over the next five years. Thats a fraction of the budget. But to robert harrison, its his job. I cant wrap my mind around training somebody to take my position. You know. This is my livelihood. How am i supposed to feel . Reporter ive heard some workers say that this is like digging your own grave. Is that what this feels like . It feels worse than that. It feels like not only am i digging the grave, but im getting ready to stab myself into the gut and fall into the grave. Reporter when the visa was created in 1990, it was intended to help the u. S. Attract and hold on to the best foreign graduates like engineers and scientists and provide a pathway to citizenship. At the time, members of congress promised u. S. Workers would be protected. This legislation protects american jobs. Reporter former congressman bruce morrison, then chairman of the Immigration Committee authored the bill. You came up with this legislation. What do you think of what it has become . Im outraged. The h1b has been hijacked as the main highway to bring people from abroad and displace americans. Reporter businesses insist the visas are absolutely necessary to compete for the best global talent. And that even more h1b workers are needed to fill job shortages. Nearly every major hightech company, including apple, google, facebook, has employees here on h1b visas, media companies, too, including cbs. Your argument is that they cant find enough qualified American Workers. Well, there are a lot of qualified American Workers, but the companies will do better financially, if they hire the Foreign Worker rather than the american. The American Workers are just as skilled as you are . Perhaps even more skilled . Translator yes, thats true. Reporter he works at a major wall street bank on an h1b visa. To protect his job and personal safety, he asked that we change his appearance and name. He was placed at the bank by one of the growing number of outsourcing companies. Most of these Global Staffing firms are based in india. Theyve become multibillion dollar enterprises, supplying American Companies with h1b workers like him to replace American Workers. He said i was never told in india hed be taking americans jobs. Translator i have to take all of their knowledge, and basically, i have to steal it. Thats my job description. Reporter and the American Worker is let go . Translator yeah. The American Workers lose their job. And they also cry while leaving the job. Reporter they cry . Translator ive been working there 20 years, and suddenly, ive taken their job. If i lose a job, i can go back to india, but where can they go . Reporter you must know that when most nativeborn americans see this going on they blame you. Translator yes, but im not the enemy. The main villains are the Indian Companies and their american corporate clients. They are exploiting us. Reporter why cant we just say were going to give jobs to Americans First . Well, thats what the statute says, but. Reporter but . Theres a loophole. And the loophole says if you pay over 60,000, you can do that. And beside that, you dont have to try to find americans. Well, 60,000 is not high pay for this kind of work. People doing this work today easily make 120,000 to 140,000. Reporter who put in that loophole . Well, it was done by congress, but obviously, the industry lobbied for it. Its really travesty that should never have been allowed to happen. It wasnt called training your replacement. It was called knowledge transfer. Reporter Craig Deangelo worked for northeast utilities, now called eversource and was one of 220 i. T. Workers replaced by h 1 b visa employees. He said his replacement, a worker from india, told him he was making half deangelos salary with no benefits. I didnt get laid off for lack of work. I got laid off because somebody cheaper could do my job. Reporter to anyone who would say youre antiimmigrant. No. Thats a lie. Thats a lie. Reporter you dont want to have any animosity towards them. Because theyre looking for a better way of life. Reporter we met with this group of workers who all had to train replacements. Leo perrero had just received high marks from disney, when he was called in, he expected a raise and promotion. Instead . I was given the news that in 90 days my job was over and i had to train my replacement. Never in my life did i imagine, until this happened at disney, that i could be sitting at my desk and somebody would be flown in from another country, sit at my same desk and chair and take over what i was doing. It was the most humiliating, demoralizing thing ive ever gone through in my life. Reporter the issue was getting little notice until it caught the attention of the trump campaign. Love you. Thank you. Reporter mr. Trump himself had hired foreign fashion models on h 1 b visas for his new york modeling agency. But when he saw how the theme of protecting american jobs resonated with his followers, he put Sarah Blackwell and fired workers like leo perrero on center stage. Theres two reasons, two words of why this is happening. Corporate greed. Reporter attacking the h 1 B Visa Program fit perfectly with mr. Trumps message and tapped into americas simmering anger at the corporate and political status quo. To watch the full report go to cbs news. Com and click on 60 minutes. Well be right back.

Its got to be tide lawmakers in alabama could give a megachurch the power to create its own police force. The grant briar wood Presbyterian Church would be able to hire officers with the same power as traditional cops. David begnaud is in birmingham. Reporter were used to hearing the church talk about gods law. But in this case, the church is asking for its very own man made law. Briarwood is much more than a church. Its got a day care, seminary and school set across two different campuses nine miles apart. And its the concern for the kids safety which is the main reason this church says they need their own police force. Briarwood Presbyterian Church sits on the buckle of the bible belt. As many as 8,000 people pass through its campus daily. They are asking the state legislature to allow it to hire its own cops with all the power of Law Enforcement officers. Reporter Greg Garrison has covered this. Why cant they hire offduty officers in the area . Thats what they already do, but sometimes they have difficulty getting enough to staff their events. Reporter why cant they rely on 911 and call for help if they nee it. They could, but they believe to be truly secure at all their events, they need Security Officials there. Reporter a shooting this past weekend injured five teenagers and a baby at another church 50 miles north of here. In a statement, briarwood pointed to massive shootings to reenforce their need, saying the sole purpose of the proposed legislation is to provide a safe environment for the church, members, students and guests. Randall marshal is with the aclu of alabama. The church is worried about what if. Why is it a problem have a police force . Its a problem because it violates the First Amendment to the u. S. Constitution. This takes what is a core governmental power, the police power, and vests it in the hands of a religious organization as a church. Reporter briarwood would not be the first church with its own police force. The Washington National cathedral has 18 police officers. Many observers expect alabamas lawmakers will give their blessing on the briarwood law. The conservative Christian Churches have a lot of power in alabama politics. And if briarwood Presbyterian Church says we need a police department, i think a lot of people will say, sure, they need a police department. Reporter without asking a ton of questions.
