Do you think states should have the right to give a separate "State Citizenship" as a totally separate thing from the US Citizenship? (sh.itjust.works)

I mean, red states don't like undocumented immigrants, and everyone seems to love "States Rights" so would is there anything wrong with Blue States just setting up their own requirements and procedures to obtain Citizenship in Blue States? Let them vote in all Statewide Elections. Essentially just make this like the American version of the EU, Citizenship is with the States, and if the Federal government is being a dick and doesn't give them Federal Citizenship, well fuck them, Let States decide if they are welcome or not.

Dissolving the union. That's what dissolving the union looks like.

True, but at this point i can't say that's a bad thing. Not many places in this country are even decent, but those that are are being held down by the red states. Sure, I'd have to escape my shithole state if it happened, but at least where i end up would have the chance to be better than what we have now. And the red states would completely collapse, allowing anyone who does stay the opportunity to reform them.
