with scott pelley. >> pelley: good evening. >> pelley: good evening. a nation of immigrants tonight is one step closer to creating a path to citizenship for 11 million immigrants who are living here illegally. the senate this afternoon approved a sweeping overhaul of immigration laws. by a vote of 68-32. 14 republicans joined every democrat in voting yes. in addition to offering the hope of citizenship, the senate bill would also flood the mexican border with thousands of new federal agents. nancy cordes is at the capitol for us tonight. nancy? >> reporter: scott, no one could have predicted this a year ago. the last serious attempt at comprehensive immigration reform went down in flames six years ago. but that was before a presidential election where republicans lost big among hispanics, giving the issue new life. >> the bill as amended is passed. >> reporter: the bill the senate passed today tries to address nearly every problem with the

nation's outdated immigration system. illinois democrat dick durbin was one of the bill's eight authors-- four democrats, four republicans. >> we reaffirmed today what the senate can be when we stand together on a bipartisan basis we can stack the toughest issues in america! >> reporter: the bill expands the number of visas available to both migrant farm workers and highly skilled workers like engineers. the bill also pores $46 billion into border security to double the number of border patrol agents and purchase surveillance equipment. and it gives undocumented workers the chance to gain temporary legal status and eventually citizenship if they pass a background check and pay fines and back taxes. south carolina republican lindsey graham. >> it brings people out of the shadows on our terms not theirs. you get to stay here if we decide you can stay. >> reporter: but the bill will hit a roadblock in the house where conservatives oppose a

special path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. house speaker john boehner. >> the house is not going to take up and vote on whatever the senate passes. we're going to do our own bill through regular order. >> reporter: house republicans have not ruled out the possibility of granting illegal immigrants some kind of legal status that falls short of citizenship but only after they get proof that the border has been secured. whatever the house comes up with scott, will have to be reconciled with what the senate passed today-- a process that could take many months. >> pelley: long way to go. nancy thanks very much. a federal grand jury today indicted dzhokhar tsarnaev for the boston bombing that killed three people and wounded at least 260 others. the indictment covers 30 counts including charges that tsarnaev conspired with his older brother tamerlan in using weapons of mass destruction. tamerlan was killed in a shootout. dzhokhar tsarnaev could face death if convicted. the indictment is full of new

details and bob orr has them. >> reporter: federal prosecutors say the tsarnaev brothers built their pressure cooker bombs over a two-month period beginning in february. they used black powder from mortar shells purchased at this new hampshire fireworks store and electrical components bought over the internet. they downloaded bomb-making instructions from al qaeda's online magazine. and, the indictment alleges, dzhokhar and tamerlan tsarnaev coordinated their attack talking by cell phone just seconds before remotely detonating the bombs. in addition to the bombings, dzhokhar also faces charges in the murder of an m.i.t. policeman. officer sean collier was killed just two hours before their escaped by was disrupted by a shootout with watertown, police. tamerlan was killed in the confrontation and 20 hours later dzhokhar was captured why would hiding in a nearby boat. it was there on the wall of the boat police also found an apparent motive.

as cbs news first reported in may, a badly wounded dzhokhar tsarnaev had written a jihadi scree protesting the killing of muslims by u.s. troops. according to the department, he wrote: now, 17 of the 30 charges could carry the death penalty. tsarnaev's attorneys have not yet commented it's widely expected they could seek a plea deal to keep capital punishment off the table. >> pelley: bob, thank you. as that indictment was being announced, a courtroom drama played out in the same boston courthouse. whitey bulger, the former mobster, is on trial for 19 murders. today a disgraced former f.b.i. agent swore to tell the truth and don dahler tells us bulger did some swearing of his own. >> reporter: those who know

james "whitey" bulger say there are few people he disliked more than former f.b.i. agent john morris. it was morris who told the "boston globe" that the alleged mob boss was a government snitch. bulger glared at morris as he testified, at one point he muttered "you're a blanking liar." it's unclear if the jury heard the outburst but the judge heard the 83-year-old not to speak to the witness. morris testified bulger supplied him detailed information about boston's italian mafia. he also described corruption in the f.b.i. boston office and how bulger bribed agents, including morris. "boston globe" reporter shelley murphy has written a book about bulger. why is the question of whether or not he was an informant important to the prosecution? >> they're trying to show yes there was a corrupt relationship and because of the corrupt relationship the f.b.i. leaked bulger information that led to the murders of three f.b.i. informants and a potential witness. >> reporter: bulger is accused of taking part in 19 murders, drug trafficking and extortion. he and his girlfriend were arrested in california in 2011

after 16 years on the lam. morris testified bulger called him in 1995. he said if he was going to jail i was going with him. morris claims he was so alarmed he had a heart attack a short time later. morris testified in exchange for immunity and, scott, during cross-examination the defense portrayed him as dishonest and lacking credibility. >> pelley: don, thank you. president obama is in senegal west africa tonight. he said his prayers are with south africans as nelson mandela remains in critical condition. south africa is next on president obama's tour of the continent. one of his stops will be robben island where mandela spent most of his 27 years in prison. we learned today that the two men have met before. this photo surfaced from 2005 when mr. obama was a junior senator and mandela was visiting washington. the former south african

president and nobel peace prize winner is 94. he's been in the hospital 20 days with a lung infection. mr. obama is on the first leg of a seven-day tour of africa. after senegal and south africa he and the family will go to tanzania. this picture caught our eye today. this is mr. obama standing in the door of no return on goree island off the coast of senegal. this was the threshold crossed by slaves in the 18th century as they were shipped to the americas. edward snowden, the man without a country as best anyone can tell still holed up in a moscow airport. snowden is the former national security agency computer technician who made off with some of america's top secrets. he escaped to hong kong and, after the u.s. charged him with espionage, he left for an unknown destination with what is becoming a long and curious layover in moscow.

correspondent major garrett asked the president about all this today. >> reporter: mr. president, will you use u.s. military asset to in any way intercept mr. snowden should he at some point in the future leave russia to try to find safe passage in another country? have you spoken to president xi of china, president putin about this personally and if not why not? >> i have not called president xi personally or president putin personally and the reason is because, number one, i shouldn't have to. this is something that routinely is dealt with between law enforcement officials in various countries. number two, we've got a whole lot of business that we do with china and russia and i'm not going to have one case of a suspect who we're trying to extradite suddenly being elevated to the point where i've got to start doing wheeling and dealing and trading on a whole

host of other issues simply to get a guy extradited so that he can face the justice system here in the united states. one last thing because you asked a final question. no, i'm not going to be scrambling jets to get at 29- year-old hacker. >> reporter: we also asked the president whether he believed all the damage snowden can do had already been done. mr. obama said not all the documents in snowden's position had been released and that there was no way of knowing what he may try to "dribble out here and there." >> pelley: major garrett traveling with the president in africa. thank you, major. the obama administration also announced today it is punishing bangladesh for the appalling conditions in factories that make clothes for america. in april, a factory collapsed, killing more than a thousand workers and just a few months before that more than a hundred were killed in a fire.

today, the u.s. said it is suspending a deal that allows bangladesh to export to the united states tax free. the safety violations were supposed to have been solved years ago when retailers required higher standards from their suppliers but look at what holly williams found when she went to one approved factory called monde apparel. >> we visited monde apparel with a hidden camera and found several hundred workers making clothes with labels including asics, wal-mart, and wrangler. their manager, masudul haq chowdhury, assured us his factory was safe but we saw missing fire extinguishers and an emergency exit door blocked by boxes. and though chowdhury claimed that all of the workers were over 18, we found one who told us she was just 12 years old. she and her mother, who also worked at the factory, asked us

not to show their faces because they feared they'd lose their jobs for speaking out. after our interview, the mother told us that factory managers discovered her identity and then bull lead her until she quit. as a result of our report, her daughter told us she was fired along with at least nine other child workers at monde apparel. a u.s. nonprofit group, the institute for global labor and human rights, has stepped in to help the girls financially. they hope many of them will return to school. >> pelley: holly williams is joining us. holly, you spoke to asics, wrangler and wal-mart. what do they have to say for themselves? >> scott, all of them have now stopped production at monde apparels. wal-mart didn't know their products were being made at monde. they suspended their supplier involved and is still investigating what went wrong. asics told us the products we saw were counterfeit but after

our report aired they discovered that one of their suppliers was, in fact, using monde apparels. and wrangler relied on a u.s. standards inspector and eventually they went back and stripped monde apparels of its safety certificate. >> pelley: holly williams, thank you very much. western states are bracing for a life-threatening heat wave. now that the supreme court has ruled, will there be a flood of same-sex marriages? and she fought to get a lung transplant. we'll have the latest update on sara murnaghan when the "cbs evening news" continues. orange blob is metamucil... and this park is the inside of your body. you see the special psyllium fiber in metamucil actually gels to trap and remove some waste. and that gelling also helps to lower some cholesterol. it even traps some carbs to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels as part of your diet.
