With all of the terrorists coming across the wide open border, I think the only question left is when will they attack the U.S.? Will they do it before November election? Will they only attack after the election if Biden loses and before Trump could take office in January of 2025?

In recent years though, most terrorist attacks were home grown, from the far left and the far right, and they haven't killed many people.
Take a look at Figure 3 here,

Other than 9/11 and the Oklahoma City bombing, there have been very few deaths from terrorism, around 10 to 120 per year. Compare to 2021 deaths from falls (44,686), motor vehicles (45,404), unintentional poisoning (102,001), and opioids, mainly fentanyl (80,816).
The terrorist threat from illegal immigrants is pretty insignificant. That's no reason not to do something about our immigration system. It's really fucked up, as all of us know.
