Should it be harder to fire people working on work visa?

The consequences of being fired in the US are much worse for people working on work visas.
There are laws that make it harder to hire people on visas, shouldn't there also be laws to make it harder to fire them?
Edit: Reason I ask is that employees with visas seem to be under much higher stress about getting fired and companies (mostly some managers in those companies) seem to take advantage of this
TC: 260k
YOE: 3
Visa status: TN (my question isn't related to TN status as I understand that it's not really a visa, but more for h1b etc.)

The consequences of someone losing their job shouldn’t be a factor in the firing/layoff process. Because by that logic a USC with a family should be preferred over a visa holder with no kids.
Otherwise it’s job at will and AC21 portability act has solved this problem.
