It is strange... In WWI, WWII,the Korean War, the Vietnam war, the cold war and The war on terror there has never been a documented case of an enemy of the US getting across the Mexican border.
Hitler tried to land them from Submarines off our each coast. Stalin got a lot in .. but not through Mexico.
It took a wile to figure it out. You have to get permission (THAT IS PAY) the Mexican banditos to cross the border. It has been that way for ever. And the Banditos know that if an enemy of the US of A got across the border their gravey train would be ended. The enemies of the USA always need one of two things... weapons or money. If they have either or are of certain races they never make it across the border.
The funny think is we have had several cases of Terrorists making it across the Canadian border... but no one objects to terrorists that enter from Canada. They just object to the ones that don't come across the Mexican border.
Your post makes a good point, but I think this sentence is the opposite of what you wanted to say.

Before 9/11, nobody had ever crashed airplanes into the WTC either. Where there's a will, there's a way.

Not true. I had friends who hired migrants to pick apples every summer. I heard their stories first-hand. Thousands of illegals sneak across the border without the aide of banditos/smugglers.
I guess you haven't heard about the guys with alQaeda ties coming in from Mexico. Every terrorism expert has mentioned it. (Steve Emerson and others) Also, I've read stories of police on our side of the Mexican border who have caught guys that spoke a middle eastern language.
As for money, terrorists related to groups or countries overseas have plenty of money. Do you know that Mexico and Iran have friendly relations?
We allow students and visitors into this country every day from Egypt and other countries and lose track of them. I think the story of these missing students was overblown, considering there must be tens of thousands that are here whose whereabouts are unaccounted for. The media just chose to focus on these guys.
If we're so afraid of Egyption students (or others) coming into this country, and don't have confidence in our screening process, then we shouldn't allow them to come here in the first place.
