I'm going to assume that's the number that they found that were on the terrorist watch list. You can bet that ain't all of them !

It is not the Border Patrols job to identify terrorist, they are routinely identified by the CIA and FBI, then the list is turned over to CBP. By the way, CBP has a nationwide deficit of 3,700 officers. With a 6% attrition rate, it would take 5 to 10 years to recruit and train that many agents.
