As I see it, this is the law of the land, take it or leave it; complaining is not an option IMO.<p>Given that I pay taxes and am subject to immigration laws a <i>lot longer</i> than a person born anywhere else, I don&#x27;t see why I can&#x27;t complain about a law that reflects nativist compromises of the Civil Rights act.<p>And well by time off, I didn&#x27;t mean a sabbatical, just the ability to quit my job and not have to leave the country as a result.
