Hello
Want to ask a quick question. Let’s say I come to California and get admitted entry does that mean I can visit other states during my visit too?

But don't take full-strength beer from Las Vegas into Utah - it's against the law!

But there again, Utah is basically another country.

Speaking of another country, California is going to leave the USA, and break into 3 countries, one for for the conservatives, one for the liberals, and the other for the nut jobs that that prefer a socialist/communist rule.

A serious answer: I know that occasionally some countries set up immigration controls between sections of the country. That is not the case in the US. If you are admitted into ne state, you can go to any of the other 49 states without a problem. The only thing you might run into is an agricultural baggage inspection between Hawaii and other states. This is done to prevent insects and other pests from being introduced to the mainland.

Sorry, Mr. Moto, but the proposal to split California into three state’s has been removed from the November ballot, due to concerns about its compliance with the California constitution.

There are also a few state border checkpoints, one down near San Clemente north of San Diego, which sometimes stops a car for secondary screening (mainly for smuggling of illegal aliens and narcotics) and a couple near the border with Arizona.

There are occasionally agricultural check points between some states. Hawaii especially. But otherwise there’s nothing more than a sign saying welcome to Nevada

While there are some agricultural control zones, entry to any one of the 48 states in the continental US allows access to the other 48 states.

I know there are special visas for Guam only, not sure if there are also Hawaii or Alaska only visas. I dont think so.
