The political compass doesn't really work when it comes to immigration.

Complete open borders immigration would count as highly libertarian on the political compass. Yet because it would let in millions of people who are themselves heavily authoritarian (as the majority of world cultures are), it would end in authoritarianism. Just indirectly.

Whereas authoritarianism on immigration can be in the service of preserving freedom. The freedom to draw insulting cartoons of prophets for example, is largely dependent on how much islamic immigration you've had.
