Never gonna happen. The US gov't will never willingly cede control of all the testing and missile ranges and the economic/military power projecion the islands provide it.

Frankly, from a realpolitik standpoint, I would be supremely annoyed at the government if it were to allow secession. It's really too valuable of a landmass to let go. Doing so would drastically alter the pacific theater as china continues a military buildup, threatens Taiwan, and manufactures islands in the south china sea.
