How Feasible Would It Be To Create A Little Norway In The United?

The way by which places become states in the US is primarily connected to whether the place is politically liberal or conservative. Preserving somewhat of a balance is important. In order for Norway to be admitted, which would make it one of the most liberal states, another territory - a conservative one with a similar quantity of electoral votes would have to be considered at or around the same time. In addition to this, Norway's royal family would have to change their status as the sovereign would no longer be the sovereign. This would come at a price. Their government would also go away. That price just went up. Finally, Norway and the rest of the United States would have to resolve or possibly dissolve political treaties and agreements with the Nordic countries, the EEA and the EU. A task of this magnitude far exceeds the intellectual capabilities of Congress. I'm not insulting Congress, I'm merely stating that absorbing a nation like Norway is at minimum 10x harder than the hardest thing this Congress has ever successfully accomplished. Bottom line. No. Admitting Norway into the union would be too costly in terms of funds and compromises and is simply too hard to handle in a competent fashion.

But, again, it is possible that we could adopt a less restrictive immigration policy and also a less restrictive welfare system, one which would not cause the collapse to occur.

The problem is that the welfare state is a massive barrier to immigration. If you want to work, you have to find a job, which generally means you get paid a wage equivalent to the cost of living. In the long run we would probably be better off subsidizing housing, food and transport as well. We would also have much smaller state services such as health and education, but.
