The strictness of immigration policy in a state depends on to what degree the democracy is liberal. Immigration laws in a democracy tend to vary based on the culture and how the native culture responds to outsiders, yet in a democracy there is greater inclusion of more people in the decision-making process over what the national policy is. Unlike an autocracy, which lacks rule of law over immigration and where only a few at the top have authority, democracy typically provides legislation that is agreed upon by the government and takes in the views of more people over who should be let into the country. Also, immigration policy cannot be radically changed as it could in an autocracy and thus laws in a democracy are more moderate and are changed slowly and procedurally, wit multiple checks in the legislation process that could veto such change.
