Immigration. When you're in the US on a Visa (maybe not all of them?), you need to have a job or you risk getting deported.

Thats weird, you still get ~ 60 days to find a new job. In case you dont have any lined up.

It’s changed and by the fact they call it INS (and not UCSIS, changed in 2003) makes me think it happened a while back.

I know way back, TN visa holders got no grace period once dismissed from a job. Unofficially it was “24 hours”, and Canadians could always turn around and come back as a tourist to clean up, but that’s a huge kick in the teeth to someone you just fired.

Yes, but 60 days isn't a lot of time in a bad economy (2001, 2008, etc.).
