I think it's really weird when people argue that the only acceptable response to problems is to quit.
Complaining is a valid response, too!
"Albert O. Hirschman makes a basic distinction between alternative ways of reacting to deterioration in business firms and, in general, to dissatisfaction with organizations: one, “exit,” is for the member to quit the organization or for the customer to switch to the competing product, and the other, “voice,” is for members or customers to agitate and exert influence for change “from within.”"

Most people start with 'voice'. It's when they're told to STFU that the strategy is shifted to 'exit'. This immigration situation would fit this. How far do you think you'd get in this situation with a complaint?
