Here is what you have to do PRIOR to flying into the US, regardless of whether or not you are a US citizen:

Here is just one excerpt:

That was a very nice flight, keep up the good work and come back soon.
All civil, private aircraft entering the U.S. must first land at an airport of entry before continuing to their destinations, unless other arrangements are made with U.S. CBP.

The penalties for violating these laws is pretty stiff, including confiscation of the offending aircraft. And, if you are going to break US law anyhow, DON'T post your flight on the Internet!
