Whether you have the moral right to do so is rather debatable. Morals are up to the individual.

I would say that it would be a major national security issue and detriment to everyone else in the country if a state was allowed to secede to another country, especially a foreign adversary.

In the United States nobody has the legal right to secede, even if a statehouse passes a law or holds a ballot vote on a constitutional amendment.

As far as emigrating and gaining legal status elsewhere that’s up to the individual.
