How would this even work in practice? In a country like Canada, would a more "USA" leaning group of people flood a into a border town and then vote to be a part of the USA? Who in the USA has the power to approve such a thing?? Does taxation and citizenship and natural resource rights just transfer over???

Seems like you are talking more about anarchy or no borders (nations/govt) at all.

In reality, US and Canada would self-organize into about 5 or 6 different states, some of which would span territories on both sides of the US-Canadian border.
