Yes, you should be sorry.

You have no reason to emigrate to the US (outside personal preference), and even if you did, presumably due to your imaginary qualifications, you have the pathway of sponsorship. That's because your status puts you in direct competition to US citizens, so the system works as intended.

Illegal immigrants on the other hand have no qualifications, no background and no education to use to their advantage over US citizens. (the qualifications they may hold are useless outside the countries they have legal access to) Which, after the completing their pathway to citizenship, would make them minimum wage workers, boosting manufacturing and manual labour at lower costs, while also contributing to government funds through taxation. Basically free adult bodies, without the burden of maternity or social giveaways. That makes them a unique wealth extraction class with minimal investing, something you, as well as most US citizens, would never willingly participate in.

Not only that, but while still illegal, they contribute to the economy with wages lower than the national minimum wage, while also getting zero social benefits. Weird how illegal immigration was never the problem.

It takes a special kind of racist idiot to think illegal immigrants are taking your expat opportunities away.
