I think the framing of this question undersells the attitude. For a lot of Americans, it's not merely that the lives of foreigners are less valuable than American lives. It is rather, that the lives of foreigners have no value at all.

Also Americans don't actually value the lives of other Americans if it impacts them even slightly
