Historically, 13 of the 19 hijackers that perpetrated the atrocity of September 11, 2001 were on legal visas.

(GOD I hate quoting her)
15 of the 19 should have been denied.

You are asking a great question. I don't think there is a clear cut answer right now. Future history may provide that answer...

No visa is the greater risk.
A person who comes without a visa committed a premeditated infiltration the boarder of the US demonstrating a lack of respect for the nation and it's laws.
A person overstaying a visa was at least checked before entry and may not have been intending to overstay upon entry ( first degree). At least they have some attempt to comply with the law.

I think there is a big risk with both. At least 6 of the 9-11 terrorists were overstayers. But their sole purpose here was to terrorize us. Some overstayers had the original intention of being legal and productive, therefore despite the 9-11 group, I think those who come with no visa at all form the greatest risk.
No screening of them has been done at all. No criminal background check. No health screening and they are bringing in diseases unchecked. Sex offenders, violent offenders, identity thieves. They have not shown any deference to our laws and social good.

The greatest security risk are the U.S. businesses that invited and hired undocumented workers for generations in order to avoid paying U.S. workers a legal and decent wage. The next greatest security risk are the bigots who tolerated that criminal activity and maintained a second-class citizenry for exploitation.

Either way they are illegal. Anyone can easily sneak into our country with or without a visa. How scary is that? Our govt needs to enforce the laws! Enough is enough!

I think the level of security risk has to do with the person, not the way in which his/her status becomes illegal.

well people who had visas went through background checks and medical screenings so I think people who just wonder across the border are much higher threat.

Those who come with no visa because they are completely undocumented and therefore, untraceable.
