We all wish. Instead, they are playing immigration games.
Normally they have 60 days to find work after a layoff or they have to go back home due to their work Visa.
What's happening (first-hand knowledge) is that a number of large Indian companies are extending "offer letters" to theses people so that their Visas don't expire.
Those offer letters aren't real jobs and they don't pay real money. It just games the immigration system and allows them to stay.
I know a number of Indian people who are great - but the overall culture is one of cheating and lying to get ahead.
I've lost count of the number of resumes I've reviewed and interview given where everything was build on a lie.
I say this as someone who’s lifelong best friend (ie since 4 years old) is Indian. The ones we got in the past were generally good. Back then you had to prove you were not going to be a burden on society to get into the US. Now we let in hordes and hordes of Indians on H1B visas and they hold a lot of jobs in Tech and Finance. Unlike the earlier immigrants, these tend to be Left leaning.
Firstly, it should always COST MORE MONEY to hire a foreigner than it does to hire an American in America. Companies should be charged a fee of $40-50K per year for each H1b foreigner they employ to ensure this. Secondly, we sure as hell don’t need a bunch of Leftists. Send ‘em back.
