As this becomes more widely known and affordable in US farms, it will be
interesting to witness the effect on immigration.

Turning away undocumented cheap labor when it is needed to keep food prices
down is one thing.  But once even cheaper robotic labor takes over...

Same thing with other industries that currently employ a large enough
number of illegal immigrants to apply political pressure against sealing
the borders.
