South Texas. Texas is considered a "depressed" state, so we have lots of affordable housing. South Texas, climate-wise, is closer to Africa's climate than the northern and western parts of Texas. On the other hand, there's richer farmland in the Great Plains area of Texas. It's pretry much cheap all over Texas, except for some of the larger metropolitan areas. Of the larger cities, I think San Antonio is one of the most affordable.
Personally, I'd like to move back up to ALaska for the beauty of the place. I haven't found the residents to be especially friendly to outsiders, though, and it's terribly expensive to live there... but it's breathtakingly gorgeous!

I see some folks mentioning Oregon...my son moved there and it was hard to find a job there.
California might be an option since it has farming and needs laborers.
Texas would be cheap enough and hot, like you'd be used to.
If you have a degree, then I'd try New York City. The people there are very friendly and the doesn't seem to be a minority, even though there are a lot of whites. It was just incredible for me to visit there and find it so safe and fun. I believe there are a bunch of jobs, from laborers to white collar workers. You'll find a job and a place to rent for not much money. Look at Craigslist and find a roommate or a rental or a job for that matter.
Craigslist you can find just about anything in any state.
Any of the southern states would be nice for you too. I think the northern states can be expensive and cold too, not unless you wish to experience snow?! :)
Wish you luck though...you'll find something here. Just mind your own business when you first arrive, so you can stay out of trouble, especially if you move to a city. You'll be safe that way. Then after you work and live here, you'll find friendly people to hang out with.
My pick: New York City. Especially if you're young...say under thirty-five.

If you do not have adequate resources, you may find it difficult to acquire a Visa to enter the U.S. either as a visitor or an immigrant.
The information for visa's and immigration is here:

As far as where to settle should you successfully obtain a Visa, I agree that a larger cities might be a good idea ... however, New York is extremely expensive, and large cities have a reputation for not being safe (though I have never had a problem in one) so I would recommend Portland, OR; Seattle, WA; or perhaps a city in the southeast.

Washington state is where I live, but it can be costly in places, Oregon is also a good place to live and not as pricey
