An elderly migrant worker recounts what his attacker said during the assault CBS News Correspondent Vince Gonzales reports on the surprising attacks. The San Diego District Attorney plans to prosecute seven teen-age boys as adults for a vicious attack earlier this month that seriously injured five Mexican migrants working legally in the United States. Many local residents are surprised at the level of ethnic hatred the incident seems to have uncovered, reports CBS News Correspondent Vince Gonzales. It was a brutal attack on migrant farm workers in their 60s and 70s.
Police say the teens shot one migrant worker in the back with pellet guns.
The whole group invaded a migrant camps using BB guns, pipes, rocks and a pitchfork to attack and rob the workers, all the while shouting racial slurs. He thought they were going to kill him. The crime has enraged San Diego's growing Latino community. Most of the accused went to the same prestigious, mainly white high school, Mt. Carmel. But the attack was not an isolated event.
