Trump claimed to Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Shumer that the government had also caught terrorists trying to cross the border.
"People are pouring into our country, including terrorists. We have terrorists. We caught 10 terrorists over the last very short period of time,” he said. “Ten. These are very serious people.
It’s not clear what Trump’s referring to. During the debate over the migrant caravan, Vice President Pence claimed that the government was apprehending 10 terrorists or suspected terrorists *a day* on the border, a claim that his office later walked back.
A report from the State Department last year undercut Trump’s point more broadly, noting that there was “no credible information that any member of a terrorist group has traveled through Mexico to gain access to the United States.”

What "report" are you referring to? If it was last year it was probably issued before the investigations were finished; they take a long time. In fact a few unsavories did try to sneak through in the last caravan.
Terrorist groups know that in certain Central American countries it is relatively easy to for impostors -- terrorists or criminals -- to obtain valid identity documents which will pass normal scrutiny.
Apprehending 10 known terrorists every day is an exaggeration because it can take weeks to determine everyone's real identity. Apprehending 10 suspects on a day is totally within reason though.
