When John Spears gets home from his sales job in New York, he sits down at his computer with a bottle of beer and starts patrolling the US border.<\/p>

And to do it, he does not need to stir from his sofa. <\/p>

He is one of tens of thousands of people around the world who are volunteering to patrol the 1250-mile long (2000 km) stretch between Texas and Mexico via the web. <\/p>

Quand il rentre de son travail de vendeur \u00e0 New York, John Spears s’installe devant son ordinateur, avec une bouteille de bi\u00e8re, et se met \u00e0 patrouiller le long de la fronti\u00e8re US.<\/p>

Et pour cela, il n’a m\u00eame pas besoin de quitter son fauteuil.<\/p>

Il y a tout un roman dans ces quelques paragraphes, ou \u00e0 tout le moins une sacr\u00e9e nouvelle de SF, qui ne demande qu’\u00e0 \u00eatre \u00e9crit. Malheureusement ce n’est pas une histoire, c’est la r\u00e9alit\u00e9. <\/p>\n\n

Enfin, on ne va pas leur faire la morale, c’est \u00e0 peine moins pire ici : les clandestins, c’est par avion charter entier qu’on les renvoie de leur c\u00f4t\u00e9 <\/em>de la fronti\u00e8re.<\/p>\n\n
