the worker paid zero taxes and lives here for free and never needs a bite to eat. Where can I get one of these magic Visas?

ok, just curious, do these workers actually pay income taxes or do they get a tax free ride for 7 yrs. like leagle immigrants?

the bulk of the taxes that are normally paid for people in these jobs are withheld in payroll taxes. Those payroll taxes for an h1b are withheld, but instead of the money going to social security medicaire, etc it goes to home country. So, in essence our economy is taxed to send money to home government to encourage them to continue producing such people. I bet they pay income taxes, but I'm not sure.
