This is its own separate problem, warranting a separate response. Having what amounts to multiple nations within a single country seldom works out over a long term. That very problem has broken up more countries throughout history than probably any other cause other than foreign invasion. America as a melting pot was a sound concept. America as a salad bowl results in the slow balkanization we're witnessing as the decades creep by. I'm not sure the process can be halted at this point. Humans are not mentally designed to want to co-exist with people whom they despise. 50 states are far too many, but you could probably break the country into at least a few smaller (but still large in their own right) entities and they'd all be happier for it. Unfortunately that's a simple thing to say on a message board, but actually trying to do it in practice would be a very messy proposition so for the time being it cannot be considered practical.
