And who is to say whether or not someone has a Facebook account? 1 Billion FB users, 7 Billion people on earth (guessing, didn't look up numbers)

And what about criminals that know about this possible boarder check and will have dummy padded pro American social media accounts?

FB claims almost 1.9 billion users, with 1.7 billion active at least once a month. Still some way off everyone, but for the right demographic (between 20 and 40, lives in a city, in a country with communications infrastructure) it's not unreasonable to see not having a FB account as really unusual.
Only terrorists do not have a Facebook account!
