The Supreme Court has not approved of SB4, they've ruled that it shouldn't be prevented from being enacted while an actual ruling happens. This is a bad decision and awful but there is still some hope it will be rejected.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Well, would allowing SB4 to stand not Grant control of the federal border to individual states? Each border state could then set their own laws defining who gets to enter and leave?
Yea, including the lib'ruhl ones - it's why I expect the Supreme Court might end up striking down the law.
Remember, American conservatives don't like states rights - they want their bullshit laws nation wide. See their advocacy for national abortion bans after convincing the Supreme Court that abortion legality wasn't a power the federal government could determine.
They would stack with Federal laws, but yes. I.e. you could be arrested by the Feds for breaking Federal law or separately the state for breaking state law.
Example consequences include the Feds granting someone asylum who nonetheless gets deported by the state and, well, Texas deporting people from blue states because they've decided they don't like those people.
So if a state says Texans aren't allowed could they be arrested and deported back to Texas?
Or to North Dakota, which might be a good deal more entertaining.
Sure beats coming up with a humane way to deal with it, I guess.
