“Some illegal immigrants apprehended on the border are from Pakistan, Iraq, China and other countries considered by the Department of Homeland Security to be “of special interest” - that is, countries with known terrorist ties.

In the past six months, 57,312 non-Mexican migrants - commonly referred to as OTMs, for “other than Mexican” - were apprehended by Border Patrol agents in the United States, according to data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Of those, 52,644 were caught along the southern border, said Salvador Zamora, spokesman for the department.”
