Green card Processing - Risks

Hi All:
I'm about to join a major US company - the company is under lot of investigations right now.I had worked for that company as a consultant for almost 3 years.

I heard recently that in INTEL several persons who had applied for green card were laid off - reason - INS sent INTEL a bunch of people(citizens) who had the same skillsets as those persons and insisted on INTEL interviewing them.

I'm not sure how true this story is.
But could this happen?

>Does this depend on the company's present status?
>How safe will it be at this point of time to start my green card processing(not considering my project status)?
>Does this happen to everyone applying for green card or is it done in random?

Any replies will be appreciated.
 
Thanks for the info(DOL as opposed to INS)
Another question:
Will the availability of qualified people jeopardize my H1 visa?
I think the GC process stops there, isn't it?
