In order to apply for U.S. citizenship through naturalization, you must be a legal permanent resident. If you are not a legal permanent resident, you could have hundreds of relatives living in the U.S., and it would not make any difference.
In order to become a legal permanent resident, you need an immediate relative who can petition for you, or you need a skill that makes a U.S. company want to hire you.
If you found a company that wanted to employ you, the company would need to petition for your resident status.

No but it does make it easier because they can sponsor you. My husband and I have sponsored his parents and some of his relatives for visitors visas from Asia. We also sponsored his brother but it does take a long time and you have to show that you make good money.
