Elizabeth, I agree with you completely. I read Popper's book looking for evil and the was none there. His philosophy was twisted by others into something he would not advocate.
I read Karl Popper's The Open Society and Its Enemies knowing it was very influential on globalists. Its forward is by Soros. I read nothing alarming in the work and believe his conclusions are taken out of context. For me, Popper portrayed Plato's influence in a rather extreme and silly way - but I found interesting his take on Hegel and Marx. Like other Jews or descendants of Jews, I thought he suffered from a reaction to Hitler but not so much Stalin. But Stalin, and later Mao, proved much more deadly.
Should also point out that economic libertarians are your original open borders people with people like Mildred Friedman arguing for the “free movement of labor across borders”. NAFTA for example was the first installment that was intended to be European like open boarders and free trade from Canada to South America. The unrestricted free trade proponents and unrestricted pro- immigration wing are largely on the same page.

There has been shift- Popper’s text made perfect sense when written during ww2 and interpreted in light of the Cold War- the project and context were different. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Open_Society_and_Its_Enemies
