CAMPO, CA - JULY 30: A U.S. Border Patrol agent searches for tracks after a night of surveillance using night-vision equipment as agents carry out "special operations" near the U.S.-Mexico border fence on July 30, 2009 near the rural town of Campo, some 60 miles east of San Diego, California. Thirty -year-old U.S. Border Patrol agent Robert Rosas was killed on July 23, 2009 when he tracked a suspicious group of people alone in remote brushy hills north of the border in this region, the first fatal shooting of a agent in more than a decade. Violence has been escalating in Mexico with fights between well-armed drug cartels and the Mexican army have become common since Mexican President Felipe Calderon began his army-backed war on the cartels. 12,800 have been killed since the conflict began in late 2006, Mexican officials charge that guns, which they say are easily smuggled in from the U.S., have flooded into Mexico where gun laws are strict.
