Check with the embassy for your country, or with the American embassy in your country.    You might inquire if they can refer you to a immigration attorney.   They'll be up to date on the applicable laws.

You have to apply for the right kind of visa for unskilled work. I've hired a Chinese national for skilled work on an HB-1 visa and it cost me $5000 every year to renew it, and a lot of paperwork. Then she got another job with Boeing while she was still working for us, so no period of unemployment. This was back 10 years ago and she's still waiting for a Green Card.

I had a neighbor from Australia who was here on a skilled visa and worked for a large corporation but was laid off during the recession of 2008 and couldn't find another job. I'm not sure what the timeframe was but he had to leave his house (couldn't sell it due to the real estate market collapse) and move his family back to Australia. They were understandably very sad, angry and bitter.

Once your employment ends and if you don't get another job immediately you need to leave the US immediately. You can't come here unless you have a job guaranteed (in writing and the visa paperwork completed) first. Every year the US government releases a limited number of these visas and many large, multi-national corporations snatch them up so not many are left for other employers. There's no guarantee you'll stay employed even if you do get here, unless your contract states such.

Not in the United States anymore. There's no more importing domestic servants from foreign countries.
To legally work someone must have a work visa (not expired) issued from the U.S. government or a valid green card (not expired). They also need a social security number to be able to have taxes taken out of the pay.
Sponsoring someone a person for a visa so they can come here and work doesn't fly in the U.S. anymore. America has cleaned up our immigration policies a little bit. So have some European countries.

You don’t say what country you’re wanting to go to, but in the us I would generally say no.
