Why is it so hard to get into the us legally?

The US has a population of approximately a third of a billion people, as compared to the total world population which is approaching seven billion people, so there are about 20 times as many people living outside the US as compared to inside the US. Many of these people are living in countries that are not as well developed as the US and which suffer from starvation, poverty, unemployment, and many social ills which are less prevalent in the US. If the US did not restrict immigration it would be flooded with far more immigrants than it can assimilate. A certain number of immigrants can be incorporated into the existing economic and social structures, but there is a limit. Just as an individual could manage to entertain only so many house guests at a given time, so can a nation only deal with so many immigrants.

Why do immigrants think they built this country?

The reason it is said that immigrants built the US, is because it is true. Although the Native Americans contributed greatly in many aspects of US society (mostly with their lives and culture), they are the only authentic non immigrants in the US. Every other US citizen born has within their geneology immigrant relatives. The Irish, Germans, English, Chinese, Africans are the ones who built the roads, railroads, bridges, businesses, governments, and so on.
