Justify the governments reasoning for assisting farmers by increasing H-2A visas but lowering pay?

Undocumented individuals have been labeled “essential workers” and pay taxes but are exempt from relief provided by the CARES stimulus package. Do non-U.S. citizens deserve the same rights as citizens? What are the larger implications if undocumented individuals become sick and are unable to access quality healthcare? Justify the governments reasoning for assisting farmers by increasing H-2A visas but lowering pay? Will this plan replenish the U.S. food supply while maintaining an active workforce? Should the government allow those held in detention centers to apply for H-2A visas?
