Let them do. Give it 2 years to fester. Then the U.S.A. invades those "3 states" and takes enough territory to connect the "lower 45" back to Alaska. The newly acquired territory is then segmented into 6 States, giving the U.S.A. 52 total States. Oregon and Washington would become 1 State, the "New Yukon" State (formerly BC) will become another, with old CA being cut up into 4 States. That would in theory give COTUS loving States an advantage in Electoral and Congress.
