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.
