> There is a 100 year wait for a green card

No, there's not. That's a hyperbolic projection which requires assuming no one ever leaves the queue (not by giving g up, not by dying, not by no longer being qualified) except by reaching he head and getting a visa.

Obviously, over a 100 year wait time, that's not remotely possible, even as a rough approximation.

Which is not to say the situation isn't miserable for Indian (Chinese, Mexican, and Filipino, too) GC applicants in many categories (not the same ones for each), but it’s not a 100 year long wait.
