Things like if you are against open border policies you are a nazi and shit.

You're describing a tiny small minority of the left, if there's anyone who seriously thinks that. It seems like you're cherry picking radical positions that the majority of the left don't hold.

I remember when that photo of that dead kid on the beach was everywhere. There was plenty of people talking about open borders.

People we definitely called racist for having the view we should stop illegal migrants and/or that some people are benefiting from the situation. People definitely also called for open borders and have have spoken to a few people in university who thinks all borders should be open. But it's usually someone with something like a media degree and no follow through for how it would work in practise just that "there shouldn't be borders and it's racist to not let people come to your country"
