#4 For more than a decade, Glenn Valley [reported] new sales records
for one of the fastest-growing meatpacking companies in the Midwest.
But, in a matter of weeks, production had plummeted by almost 70 percent.
Most of the work force was gone. Half of the maintenance crew was
in the process of being deported, the director of human resources had
stopped coming to work, and more than 50 employees were being held at
a detention facility in rural Nebraska.

The human traffickers are those who use foreigners as cheaper labor. Not figuratively, but literally. These companies deserve just as much sympathy as the plantation owners of the past, or the farmers using orphans for serfs in the recent past.

This company hired legal workers and they were trafficked away.
If these are the wrong legal workers, who are the correct legal workers? Who are the ones that should to not be seized and trafficked?

Yes it does. The point of immigration law is to limit the total number of foreign people coming into the country, to maintain it within the nation's capacity for americanizing immigrants and the economy's capacity to employ them. If you want to have immigration, it should be low enough so you're turning Indians or Guatemalans into Americans faster than they're turning America into India or Guatemala.[1]
Ultimately, the fairest thing to do is to actually enforce the immigration laws by targeting companies that hire illegal-alien labor. That will reduce the incentive of people to immigrate illegally, and reduce the need for future deportations.

("In The Culture Transplant, Garett Jones documents the cultural foundations of cross-country income differences, showing that immigrants import cultural attitudes from their homelands—toward saving, toward trust, and toward the role of government—that persist for decades, and likely for centuries, in their new national homes. Full assimilation in a generation or two, Jones reports, is a myth.").
