Shame on Laura Ingraham making Mr Trump say Americans are stupid and not talented that’s why we need punjab Indians here on visas gosh darn it!

What he is saying is an H-1B visa is a non-immigrant work visa that allows companies in the U.S. to hire highly-skilled foreign workers in specialty occupations with losts of experience for an initial period of three years, which can be extended to six years.
It is cheaper for corporations to do this as they don't have to pay s/s and other bennies. Tech costs are high. The intention was to bring in skilled workers, the best and the brightest, and getting them to stay, eventually becoming citizens.

Why don't they have to pay Social Security? Why only from the Punjab?

This is what the govt says: A resident alien for income tax purposes is treated the same as a U.S. citizen and can complete the Form W-4 just like a U.S. citizen. (IRC Section 7701(a)(30)).

A non-resident alien is subject to special rules for income tax withholding. A non-resident alien must complete a Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Certificate, using Notice 1392, Supplemental Form W-4 Instructions for Nonresident Aliens unless there is a treaty exemption that applies to them. A non-resident alien will file a Form 8233, Exemption from Withholding on Compensation for Independent (& Certain Dependent) Personal Service of a Nonresident Alien Individual, with the employer to claim a treaty exemption.
