Thats not true. You can get in the US in ways other than family unification [ie., getting married to a US citizen].
You can get an H-1 visa if you are well skilled and have a sponsoring employer.
You can study in the US for additional post-grad training [i believe its the C-1 visa] then convert to an H-1
You can open a branch of your business in the US [the L visa...better than the investor immigrant cuz branch does not have to be worth $1M] or
You can be an investor immigrant [minimum is $1 M dollars]
Plus there are other legal ways to get in. What they all have in common is 1) selection 2) you MUST bring in some value to the US.
