Why do tens of thousands of sub-saharan africans try to cross the mediterranean each year? how are these refugees commonly portrayed?

Due to poverty and frequent civil wars, terrorist attacks, tens of thousands of sub-Saharan Africans, every year wants to cross the Mediterranean and arrive in Europe in order to find a normal life, stable income, and provide basic living conditions for themselves and their families. Depending on country to country, they are portrayed as people in trouble seeking salvation or as a threat to the domestic economy, overpopulation, the cause of disorder, etc. In this, the media play an important role, and especially those that run the media, so we can hear the blessed attitude towards immigrants, as well as the pro-racist statements about the vulnerability of Europe.
