Yeah I suspect some percentage of the "visitors" staying with "friends and family" are doing this currently. Not sure how to stop that if both parties are willing to lie about it, or are "conveniently unreachable," except temporarilly restricting access to the state to documented residents and property owners only due to a public health emergency. That would seem to be a lot for people at the airport (who are not CBP inspectors) to try to sort out on the fly though, and legally pretty dicey to be bouncing people who otherwise claim on a signed form they are going to follow the rules and can’t be trivially proven to be lying about it on the spot.
UPDATE: new article on this subject.
