That's not even a sure fire deal. I know several Americans who've tried taking their dutch spouse back and it's a pain in the expensive ass.
Lets put it on the easy scale...I moved from America to the Netherlands because it was easier (and cheaper) for me to get a work permit/residence permit vs. my dutch boyfriend moving to the states.
IF you want to go to the states, either find a company that will sponsor you or put your name into the diversity lottery. Every year they pull X names out of the hat for a green card.

Alternatively, you can just go down and jump the boarder vs. applying legally. It seems everyone else does it and eventually gets rewarded for breaking the law with amnesty.
