It's not like there's a state border check for vehicle emissions. You can visit California in a non-California car without an emissions check. Joy's claim doesn't make sense even before fact checking.

There is a border check entering CA but they only ask about fruits and vegetables.

Wow it's true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Border_Protection_Stations

I don't think any other US state has checkpoints. This is a surprise to me.

There are. Especially for commercial vehicles:

A lot of states have checkpoints for vehicles towing boats. Need to check for invasive water creatures.
