Assuming that you entered the country by crossing the border illegally, there are not a lot of options for you to obtain legal status in the United States. Most individuals who crossed the border illegally cannot adjust their status to permanent residents. There are certain exceptions, but I would need additional information about you to determine whether you qualify for such exceptions.

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.
