Western countries spend a lot of time and money informing their populace that refugees aren’t human, they’re menaces. There’s plenty of narrative spin about how rapes increase with them, or how they don’t integrate into society properly, how their children can’t follow the new country’s laws and teachers can’t discipline them for fear of being called racist, how they breed too much and will soon take over our country, they steal jobs, etc etc etc.

I’m not surprised there’s not significant outcry when hundreds are drowned. Much of the population is already taught to view them as a threat to be eliminated.

That's a lie, a dangerous and hateful one. Which country promotes that, do you have any examples?

Previous USA president spent a lot of time lamenting immigrants at the southern border.

In the US, the President is not the state.

If you elect a fear mongering racist to the presidency people might be forgiven thinking its official policy, and when they are able to effect policy directly, its the state.

https://www.aclu-wa.org/pages/timeline-muslim-ban - the USA's official policy was banning Syrian refugees

"Without looking at the various polling data," Trump said in a statement, "it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension. Where this hatred comes from and why we will have to determine. Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life."

This was in reference to a woman who was the wife of an accomplice from Pakistan.

Plenty of extremely popular western media are constantly funneling money about the terrors of immigrants. It’s so popular that they have buzzwords: great replacement, caravan, sharia law, etc.
