The eligibility to become permanent resident is derived through relatives or skills needed by a U.S. citizen employer. Do you have an immediate relative who is a U.S. citizen, or an employer willing to petition for you?

You need to clarify as to what you mean by entering "illegally"? There are various types of sponsorships available to pursue a legal status in the USA, but certain types of petitions may not be approved depending on the manner in which you entered the USA. You should seek out professional legal advice for a detailed discussion.
