Immigration is not leftist, it degrades value of labor. It's liberal policy - in the US this is conflated with left, but elsewhere liberal stands for individualist policies, while left is more or less socialist, the exact opposite.
Certain kinds of leftist are anti-immigration. But anarchists and those in favor of international communism are aggressively (sometimes militantly) opposed to the concept of national borders or any meaningful restrictions on the movements of people.
Those groups are not anywhere close to wielding power or influencing govs decisions.
And were the people making pro immigration policies in the west in favour of "international communism", or liberal capitalism?
