They would become a territory, like Puerto Rico. They would still have citizenship and the benefits of citizenship, such as they would still have taxes. But would not vote in presidential elections, and their representatives would get no vote.

It is the best of all worlds. /$

You mean their politicians can just blame everything on the federal government and pretend they took their voting rights away? Sounds like a dream for them.
