Let Oregon secede, and watch what happens...
It has to be a proper secession. The moment they secede, the U.S. military has to block all interstate highways and all other roads in or out. After all, the border MUST be enforced. All people entering and exiting have to be checked, to make sure they have proper visas and if they don't, they do not pass. Then, any electricity coming in from the rest of the country has to be cut immediately. They did not negotiate its use as a sovereign state.
Obviously the interstate highway is not theirs, that is Federal property, so the United States keeps 1 side of the north south route open for American use so the trucks can still pass, and lets Oregon use the other side, as a two way road. Passport needed to get through the on ramps on the side America takes. Eventually a different route can be built under Trump's infrastructure plan, no big deal, and then we seal the whole damn thing off.
Oregon then does not have to pay federal income tax, but they also do not get any federal benefits. It will be up to them to float their own boat. Oregon, as a sovereign state, will have to set aside land for embassies from 250 different countries. I am sure they will LOVE IT.
Yeah, let the flakes have their way, and get a good dose of the sunshine of reality. Oregon contributes so little to the country it will not be missed and might not even be able to support itself.
