US states don’t have inter-state border controls beyond some weight checking for semis. Additionally all ports of entry are federally controlled and per the constitution states cant make treaties with other countries. You could maybe do the work permit thing per state though.

California does have agricultural border checkpoints, though that doesn't really change things from the topic of whether population movement could be viably limited.
