What is the explanation of this discrepancy? I suspect that the Kremlin knew that racial diversity is harmful to the military and economic might of any country and thus instructed the Western communists to advocate immigration to destabilize the West.

I'd be grateful if somebody could provide sources which confirm this or any communist policy statements related to immigration.

The explaination is the absence of Liberalism in the former Eastern Communist countries. Mass immigration is heavily supported by the so-called Libertarian/Conservative parties, it is them to advocate multiculturalism too - and not only Greens/Social Democrats and other Reds. Another aspect of the Communist states compared to the Western Liberaldemocracies is their de-facto nationalism. Whilst the Western FRG outlawed and shunned all forms of nationalism and developed the so-called "Constitutional Patriotism", the East-German GDR openly propagated the "Socialist Fatherland". The GDR also propagated the working mother that has children - whilst Western Reds propagated the freedom to live childless and the destruction of traditional values. The Western Reds mostly disliked the GDR and her doctrine and militarism, only few made it overthere (like some fanatic pro-Soviet activists and RAF terrorists), most preferred to live in the "capitalist" FRG since this liberal constuct of decadence. Furthermore think-tanks like the Frankfurt School had no influence in the East. I also recommend reading this article.
