Fixed for you...
Hah, if you had any idea how absurd, arbitrary and convoluted the legal path to immigration is in the US, you wouldn't be saying that.
Many of the skilled immigrants this country needs end up going to Canada or Australia instead, because those countries actually give priority to skilled individuals, versus the blood-tie prioritization the US uses. Combine that with massive wait times demanded by the xenophobe lobby in CONgress (aka the GOP), the US ends up with immigrants with fewer skills and less wealth.
The only thing a "legal immigrant" has over an "illegal" is saint-like patience.
