We are in a time of crisis and the first instinct is to close ourselves but I think we should not throw away what the “free”(almost in some cases) movement of people made possible:
Cheap good food => more people can afford to buy it => less hunger/suffering in the world.
Here is another example:
Cheap technology => more people have access to computers => more innovations are possible => more cheap technology => better life quality.

Just means you'll be eating bananas instead of strawberries. And whatever's in-season or canned out-of-season instead of fresh anything year-round. And chickpeas instead of beef. Sugar instead of honey. Lettuce instead of kale. If anything, this is an opportunity to make cheap food even cheaper instead of using that land resource to make luxury fresh fruits/herbs year-round. People will complain about it non-stop though.
