Means you're welcome to enter. I live in the southern part of the USA and that's a common phrase.

it means come on through the door and into my home.
in spanish cultures they say pass through and have a seat -- same kind of thing but obviously more polite.

It's just like you said, come on and come in. In a sentence it should be as so:
Come on, come in.
Come on being, "Go ahead, don't worry."
Come in being, "Get in here."

it is just a matter of cutting words... come on, and come in... come on means, yes... agree... and come in, to go with what they agreed, etc..

It's the American equivalent of: please, do come in.
More than just 'come in', in the sense of: it's all right, you are not disturbing at all.

it means come in. when you want to welcome some people to your house, you say ''come on in; have a seat'', for example.

SAME AS " COME IN "

It is an idiomatic expression meaning "Welcome, please enter." It is informal in nature but not at all impolite, just friendly.
