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.

    NO

    Despite what pur country could be, it is a single nation made ip of states and everyone who is a citizen is a citizen of the entire country. State level citizenship would be ripe for racists and bigots to deny citizenship again.

      Tbf, I as a non-white naturalized US Citizen, I would never wanna go to a red state anyways. Not much of a loss.
