I've heard all the talk about immigrants coming to this country illegally and I was wondering if anyone knew how you get in this country legally? Do you have to call someone? Purchase something? I'm really confused.

You need a visa (permit) to enter the country legally. So people have to go to the embassy and get it.

Go to uscis.gov and you can find out all about it.
You have to see if you are eligible for the visas they offer. Then you fill out the applications and pay the fees to file them. Then you wait until they tell you if you are approved or not. You will receive all the paperwork you need so you can come to the US. There may be a little more involved, but that is it basically. Like I said, visit the website.

With a tourist visa you can actually enter to the country "legally". I have done it a lot of times.

There are a number of ways depending on if you want to visit for a short tourism trip or want to reside here.
There are limits on how many at once we let reside here (our schools etc can only have so many and we have to pay for education etc for the poor ones.) However, depending on where you are from there are a variety of legal options.

Probably the simplest way is to buy a plane ticket, fly to the US where you will get a tourist stamp on your passport, them don't go home. Once the tourist visa expires you become an illegal alien.

Climb the fence on the border with a posterboard sign "I'm Mexican" instead of sneaking in.
