Af far as the infamous red herring "terorists crossing the border" argument, it's just that...a red herring.
It makes absolutely no sense for terrorists to try the most perilous way into the country, when they have the money and ability to enter the country legally, giving them far more chances to gain entry.

Contrare! It would be much easier for a terrorist to enter this country by crossing our southern or northern border... If illegals can do it by the hundreds of thousands what makes you think a terrorist would have a problem?
