They'd probably only offer one of the Hick states like North Dakota.

I'd say grabbing New York would probably be the most profitable border state to 
get, lots of big business there.

If I could grab any state into Canada, it'd probably be California though. Get 
the "fun in the sun" factor of Baja Canada, all the high-tech jobs of silicon 
valley, the delicious irony of exporting the entire movie/music industry to a 
country that doesn't have the DMCA, and the fruitcakes aren't much worse than 
what we already have in BC.
