I could be wrong but I think the Constitution is pretty clear on the idea that states have little or no role in diplomacy with foreign governments. That’s not to say that a consulate in Oklahoma City is a good idea, just that a state’s governor doesn’t get to make the call.

Doesn’t Mexico have a consulate in Washington DC???

That’s the ONLY place where a Mexican Consulate should be...Our nation’s capitol...

Nowadays state governors have a lot to do with foreign affairs, they shouldn’t but they do. And if a state governor is totally onboard with setting up a foreign consulate it makes it much more likely to happen.

No but he’s entitled to meddle in the process.
