No. There are plenty of racist/xenophobic parties on the Left - the best example being the Bloc Quebecois/Parti Quebecoise. One could also make the argument that the PVV is a left-leaning party, though that's a little iffy. But one could make that argument.

The DPP is also the leftist party in Taiwan and by far, the most xenophobic/chauvinistic as well as dismissive of even the native aboriginals. And the Korean Left has historically always been much more racist/xenophobic than the Korean Right. If anything, the Korean left is probably the most xenophobic left-wing movement in the developed world.

Though it is true that most anti-immigration parties are on the right, at least in the West.
