In an ideal world, They should layoff the poor performers first irrespective of company politics, race, sex, national origin etc

That is not an ideal world. Disparate countries are great for humanity

If the purpose of H1B is to allow more foreign workers for roles where there aren't enough qualified Americans, then during a recession H1B should layoff first as there are now more qualified Americans than available roles.

If I have to layoff, I wouldn't keep that in mind.

It would be highly correlated with protected classes
Sorry what does that mean?
Protected classes are e.g. gender, religion, national origin. They are protected by laws against discrimination, and it would be illegal to lay off based on a protected class.
