A company called Ticom Geomatics has applied for the most experimental licenses.
From their homepage: "we offer challenging projects where the results make a difference globally"
Note: "Make a difference" can be double-speak.
They also mention their "diverse and collaborative environment". I wonder if there are Mexicans on their staff.
- bacondude3 7y agoThis is a picture of their staff. It looks reasonably diverse: http://www.ticom-geo.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/tgi-group2.jpg http://www.ticom-geo.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/tgi-grou... Remember, legal immigrants (from Mexico or anywhere else) tend to be among the strongest opponents of illegal immigration.
- heavyset_go 7y agoThis is like saying that people who sleep legally in their own homes are among the strongest opponents of those who sleep illegally under overpasses. I doubt there is much overlap in the two immigrant populations beyond their country of origin.
- Torches69 7y agoNo, if you want to use that analogy it's like people who sleep legally in their own homes being among the strongest opponents of those who sneak into other people's homes without their knowledge or consent where they present an unquantifiable economic, cultural, and safety burden to homeowners while calling them names and guilting them if they dare to discover or defend against the trespass.
- ikeyany 7y agoI don't understand how you look at that staff picture and say that it's "reasonably diverse".
- corporate_shi11 7y agoDo you know their backgrounds? Do you know whether they were raised rich or poor? Perhaps some come from the Eastern states, some from the West, others from the south. Some are young and some are old. Maybe some like classical music while others prefer rap. Some like long walks on the beach while others like spending time hiking in the forest. Lots of diversity is probably contained in that photo, just not the superficial type you're most fixated on.
- ikeyany 7y agoThe comment I replied to said that they look diverse. So how do they look diverse based on that picture alone?
- corporate_shi11 7y agoBased on that picture alone? Some tall, some short, some old, some young, some men, some women, some skinny, some fat, etc. Lots of superficial diversity in that picture.

- Torches69 7y agoI don't understand why it ought to be. Surely a company committed to the defense of a nation's border ought to be comprised predominantly (I would argue exclusively) of the native people. I wouldn't trust a fox to guard the henhouse.
- danso 7y agoAmerica is a diverse country. Who do you mean by "the native people"?

- eplanit 7y ago"Note: "Make a difference" can be double-speak." Yes, just like "make the world a better place" can be.
