The discussion above is talking about general immigration laws and attitudes, not the travel ban in particular.
That said, my analogy is completely appropriate - and necessary - as there seems to be many who are unable to empathize with people who are scared for their safety, whether justly or unjustly paranoid.
Not a flood of Swedes, because Sweden is a functioning state than can provide comfort and security for its people.
But 4 billion people live in nations where the average standard of living is significantly worse than in Sweden.
You think all the workers brought to the US on programs like H1-B are "world class"? They are generally good people and good employees, but for the most part they are operating at a level many US workers are capable of working at, with skills US workers possess. Companies bring them over because they know they can get away with paying them less.
Global competition among labor for work is one of the driving forces behind the erosion of the middle class.
Global businesses love hiring people from outside the US because they love paying them a far lower salary than a US citizen would command.
Lots of ugly and false assumptions you're making in this comment, but I'll bite.
Billions of people want to come to the US. Many more than want to go to, say, Argentina. So our immigration laws need to be a bit more strict to restrict what could be a flood of immigrants to a more manageable flow. This is necessary for cultural and economic reasons, to promote unity and stability, which make America great.
Second, we are understandably paranoid about security, which also leads us to more restrictive immigration laws.
That said, nearly a million people immigrate into the US each year. Most Americans like legal immigrants contrary to what propoganda you may read or hear, considering we are a nation of immigrants.
I believe CUDA severely hampers AMD's efforts in deep learning.
AMD's primary focus is on Epyc building presence in data centers. They are aiming for 5-6% market share by end of 2018 and 15% by the end of 2019.
