Every person earning income in the US is subject to US taxation with rare exceptions. Whether you are a citizen, green card holder, work permit holder, work visa holder, or even an illegal alien doesn't matter. The only difference would be in the type of return that they file -- either Form 1040 or Form 1040-NR.
Whether a worker is considered a resident (Form 1040) or non-resident alien (Form 1040-NR) depends primarily upon the length of time the person is in the US though there may be tax treaty exceptions to this. This is separate and distinct from their immigration or visa status which is why illegal aliens are frequently taxed in the same manner as citizens or legal workers. (The fact that an illegal alien does not have the legal right to work in the US is immaterial when it comes to taxation of their income if the IRS finds out about it.)

every person who works in the U.S. whether a citizen or a green card worker pays taxes. It is taken out of their paycheck each pay period as required by law. You can look up the laws in your state and see what state or local taxes are also taken out of one's pay

A green card holder (once they arrive in the US) is a resident alien for tax purposes and taxed the same as a US Citizen.

Green card workers pay U.S. taxes. Anyone that has a legitimate job has withholding taxes taken out of their paychecks. It's a federal law.

everybody who is able to work in the US has to pay taxes (of course if they are a qualifying person depending on how much they get payed), if they do not yet have a social security card, they must register to get an ITIN, basically a number assigned to them for tax filing purposes only.
