Citizen Species Only policy not blocking refugees

[Kryndude]

I had the refugee policy set to 'citizen species only' but a new species still made it into my empire. They do have full citizenship now but isn't that policy supposed to prevent any species that don't already have full rights in my empire from coming in? I mean it's PDX game so I understand there being no explanation in-game, but the wiki is also very lacking in case of Stellaris. Could someone explain how this works? Thank you.

From my experience, it allows anyone who could be/become a citizen.
Changing your default rights to fx residence should mean that new xeno do not automatically count as citizens

Edit: I think

I totally forgot that default rights existed. That makes sense now then. Thanks a lot.
