Wow, this is an effect of our financial crisis that I hadn't considered before... I'd be very interested to see the data on the proportion of people who have been laid off who were sponsored for H-1B visas.
According to [1] "Alcorn estimated that 15% of the people laid off from Bay Area startups are immigrants, 90% of which are H-1B holders."

Wow, losing your job is already painful enough, but I can't even imagine the trauma of also facing losing the life you've built in this country on top of that. 90% of immigrant layoffs being H-1B holders is a staggering statistic.
