Illegal border hoppers from south of the border that have been apprehended have included many of Middle Eastern origin.

Your argument is invalid.

Actually, you have nothing but urban legend to back that up. You have a story on World Net Daily which gives an anonymous source and stats which say there is a 42% rise in OTM (other than Mexican) apprehendees (can include El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, Nicaragua, etc etc etc). Anything else?

In 2001, we KNEW about some Yemenis who tried to get across, and we even knew that they were offering $30K a head and could not get in.

OTOH, the one example we have of a border hopper who was apprehended IN the USA before he could do a terrorist act was from [ahem] Canada.
