Check out the requirements for legal immigration first. I know you may just be entertaining the thought and not totally serious but there's a lot to think about. You need a skill that will earn you money first and that skill needs to be in demand in order for you to make a living wage.
Avoid the big cities like New York and Los Angeles because even the people that live there can't afford to. Avoid the tourist states like Hawaii and Florida as things tend to be more expensive there. Avoid the Midwest as lovely as it is because we call it the "Rust Belt" because everything is old and decaying and they keep losing jobs; the economy is terrible.
I would say the west and northwest are best places to settle but avoid Arizona--it will be 120F or 48.8C here tomorrow and it will come close to that today. Summer lasts 3/4 of the year, it is awful here. Colorado, Oregon, Washington, New Mexico, Montana are all great although winters might not be to your liking.
But first start with a good skill and legal immigration. The cost of living here is much more than many countries. You make more money but the cost of living is higher.

@dragon54u Is such heat normal or abnormal for Arizona?

I'd say the same as the responder below.
Get a visa first then think about what area to move to.

After you do your research, decide on Texas. Austin is the best city.

@Drelbwky - I would have said Florida but the real estate is more expensive there.

I don't even live in America, but can state your discussion is too vague.
You need to first determine where there is a need for your skills.
In order for a company to sponsor you, they need to prove there is no American that can fulfil the position.
That's the first step, then you start looking at the different states,tax, weather conditions, cost of living.
It is not an easy country to enter legally.
