Borders between states are adjusted all the time.
Rarely do such adjustments result in any shift in population - i.e., the land involved is usually uninhabited.
But our Constitution does indeed allow for states to break up, fusion, cede portions of themselves, etc.
However, it requires a super-majority in Congress to ratify any such partitions and/or absorptions to be confirmed.

Does your copy have Article IV §3?
“There is no constitutional way for this to happen.”
Actually there is. Congress has to agree.
