They're suspending the PERM process for H1-Bs but are they suspending microsoft from filing for new H-1Bs? It's my understanding the wait list for Indian workers to get a green card is like 100 years, so what difference would it make anyways?

I think they need to file PERM in order to be able to renew the H-1B indefinitely, otherwise they are only good for 6 years. This is true even if the PERM filing takes decades to lead to an actual green card.
So it's possible this development will lead to people getting kicked out after their 6 years of H-1B.
