An opportunity for sure, I don't know why the Americans should like it though.

A country bound together by common culture, common language and common borders, just not by one all-powerful federal government, is still a country.
Will you consider an acquaintance from another state a foreigner just because decisions in DC are now made by state agreements rather than by a top-down system?

1. I don't think you understand the concept of federalism.
2. State elections have always been meaningful.
3. Why not just be straightforward about your "state's rights" position? It'd save a lot of time.

What makes you think it would be any different in the United States?
The Feds are shut down right now; do you experience any trouble at state borders as a result?
If the shutdown is made permanent, the individual states aren't going to start building fences and checkpoints;
no one's interested in doing so.
Nothing is going to change in this regard; status quo will simply keep going on and required agreements will eventually be established.

At some point in the future, I guess they might.
And while I personally consider these anti-immigrant policies stupid, I don't see why shouldn't people who want to fence themselves off in a gated community have such an option.

I do. I simply don't support it; confederacy is a better form of government for a country with the size and the political diversity of the United States.
And an extension of a fed shutdown would be a relatively realistic and painless transition scenario.
