Let me design my personal nightmare scenario:
1. Conservative forces in the southern states continue to claim that the Federal Government is trying to change the voting dynamics by naturalising immigrants.
2. Some form of legal argument is made against the legality of the vote of naturalised citizens in state level.
3. Hawaiian nationalists, secretly backed by China adopt that.
4. Some form of secession movement in Hawaii is formed.
5. China recognises independent Hawaii.
6. The US cannot accept to loose its influence in that part of the Ocean.
7. War by proxy, on US soil.
This is all very unlikely, and would make a good plot for a Novel BUT:
Historically the US has a much weaker claim on Hawaii ( which was annexed agains the will of the population) than China on Taiwan and there is already friction with the native Hawaiian population e.g. by Zuckerberg circumventing traditional local inheritance laws to build his mansion.
