I haven’t done any research into this idea, but I was thinking it could be a fair compromise to have unrestricted state visas . As in, the visa is only valid to live and work in that state. This would allow each state to flexibly respond to the labor needs of its economy each year. Then federal citizenship can be a restricted process, and limit migration to states that can’t utilize the extra labor.
But yeah they’ll probably come up with a massively insufficient increase and pretend it’s progress.
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.

We should increase the immigration quota by 100,000 for every legal resident and US citizen they deport.
