Believe it or not, there is a legal procedure for this.  Go to the
State Departments website of US Citizenship and Immigraton Services.

http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/services/residency/divvisa.htm

This describes the US diversity Lottery in which 55,000 immigrants
each year are allowed to proceed along the path to citizenship.  If
you receive a visa through the Diversity Visa Lottery Program you will
be authorized to live and work permanently in the United States. You
will also be allowed to bring your spouse and any unmarried children
under the age of 21 to the United States.

Applicatons are free.   There are certain requirements that you know
English and have at least a high school educaton (and not be a
criminal).

Other legal options...  See

http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/services/residency/index.htm

1.  Immigrate through a family member
2.  Be a person of means and immigrate by bringing a substantial
investment to the USA.
3.  Marry a US Citizen
4.  Claim Asylum (Franco oppressed me!)
5.  Be trained for a certain medical or technical job which has a
shortage in the USA
