Intentionally deciding to enforce normal human rights is different than suddenly causing disruption in the food supply and greatly increasing food prices.
Personally I think there was a lot we could have done with migrant worker visas to improve human rights while also ensuring enough farm labor, preventing disruption of the food supply, and providing a wider legal path to immigration
When the food supply depends on widespread abuses, enforcing those rights will always cause a disruption.
