well, I know I read somewhere, on an anti-H1B web-site probably, that said that H1B people have the normal payroll taxes withheld, but all of this money sent to their home government. Other people say it varies from country to country. Maybe so, maybe this aspect of the program is in flux.
Either way, we're talking about government intervention into the marketplace to drive wages down for 1-2 million people from about 70 grand a year to 50 grand a year, and the means of doing this is to get a bunch of americans out of those jobs and a bunch of foreigners into those jobs.

Exactly. Some people say that we're seeking protectionism. Actually, we are seeking a reversal of corporate protectionism that was enacted within the past 5 years which drastically changed the played field. The rights of corporations have been made more important than the rights of American workers. If allowed to, corporations would have workers working 20 hour days for free. That is why there HAS to be some level of regulation in order to prevent companies from replacing US citizens with slaves.
