O.K, here goes - from the point of a longarm quilter - if these borders are not ripped, cut down and resewn to the quilt top, there will be puckers or pleats when the quilting is done. Most longarmers can work in about 1 inch of fullness, but I'm seeing more than 1 inch on these borders. Your longarm quilter may ask if it is o.k with you to make a "seam" 2 or 3 places along the border to take in the fullness before quilting or these "seams" can be fingure pressed and quilted over while the quilting is being done. A good longarmer will be able do this so the "seams" are hardly noticeable. However; the best method to insure the quilt looks its best when completed would be to rip off the borders and redo them to remove the "ruffles" prior to quilting.
