When you are asked "have you ever been refused a visa", you say yes and explain what happened back then. You just didn't meet the requirements nine or ten years ago, but that shouldn't cause any problems as long as your situation has changed and you meet the requirements today.

As far as I'm aware there is no rule that allows non-Mexico citizens from entering the border zone without an I-94 permit.
