I mean, yeah.. sales taxes make sense,

"Most have income and payroll taxes deducted"

But HOW?! like the employer takes off % money, they need like an SIN # or something to tie it to. So what does the employer do?

I don't see how any undocumented pays 'income' tax... other than the employer either doesn't deduct it, or does and just pockets it.

Don't be intentionally stupid. It's done via the exact same mechanism that your taxes get paid when you get your paycheck, associated with their ITIN instead of a SSN. Payroll systems are automated; virtually no employer handles payroll themselves, just like virtually no website handles credit card transactions themselves.
