If I get laid off, need to immediately go back to my corrupt country. Do I want my kids get absolute bad education, bad environment to grow up? No.

It's not easy to get visa to USA again

Try to get a job that’s less risky w.r.t. impending layoffs, even if it pays less or has fewer career opportunities.

That could even be in a country that has better rules for work visa holders that get unemployed. For example (https://immigration-portal.ec.europa.eu/blue-card/essential-...) “If you become unemployed, you have three months to find a new job. If you are still unemployed after three months, your EU Blue Card may be withdrawn”. That’s far from ideal, but better than “immediately”.

Also, save as much money as you can. Having to return home while having savings may be a bit easier.

Ok the problem is the loss of visa then. Not normal layoff.

you are not wrong. Problem is, consequences layoff might bring to our lives. For some people finding a job is taking 3-4 months, financially I can afford myself not having any job for a year, but visa makes it very difficult for us to stay.

As if our US 0f A is not corrupt, but you can believe what ever makes you happy

it is, but I haven't noticed it in smaller scale, daily things. You don't bribe school to take your kid, you don't bribe kindergarten and many other places. Every country has different issues, but USA has 1st world issues, compare it to other countries where people are starving. Totally different topic to debate
