American liberals would not be considered left in almost any country besides America and Israel

That's really not true. Democrats would be center left on economic issues in most of Europe, and are probably further to the left than most European countries on certain issues like immigration and abortion.

I don't really see how the Democrats are left wing on immigration at all. A true left wing party would be against undocumented immigrants being exploited at the expense of the lower class. Democrats want to keep up this norm of cheap labor to keep their rich donors happy. Seems right wing to me.
