I suppose we were due one of these threads, there hasn't been one in a few weeks now.:)

Your options are:

1: Marry an American

2: Win the Green Card lottery

3: Get some highly specialised experience, that very few Americans have, so a company over there will sponsor you.

In short, you can't just up and move there without a visa and it is quite difficult to get a visa. Not impossible, mind you, but extremely difficult.
