I just really want to know what is wrong with wanting a legal process for immigration.

There's nothing wrong with that. The problem is the immigration process has completely changed from the days of Ellis Island (and Angel Island). Back then, poor people who were constantly shat upon by Europe (and Asia), were allowed to come here legally in the hopes of a better future for them and their children.
However, we don't allow poor people in anymore. So if you live in a dirt farm in Guatemala, and wish you could learn to read and write and make a better life for you an yours... you're pretty much SOL.
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
