However you seem to be completely ignoring the FACT that Border Patrol periodically does report some number of migrants are appearing on the terror watch list. Do despite your wise advise some can and do come via the river rather than the airport.

No - some people on the terror watch list come in through over the border. There's close to two million people on that watch list - it's not limited at all to terrorists.

It's easy to see how someone who is prohibited from getting on an airline flight who isn't a terrorist might try to sneak across the border. Because they're on the watch list, they can't fly in. Because they're not actually a terrorist, they don't have access to the resources (or even the propensity to break the law) necessary to get fake travel documents to fly under an assumed name.

Nor is there any indication that any of these people try to use the asylum process to get in. Sneaking over the border undetected might be a smart move in certain contexts; trying to claim asylum is not.
