I think you're confusing the initial screening with the final judicial decision on the asylum application. The initial screening is fairly cursory, but the final hearing is more of a trial - and the burden is on the claimant to prove their case. There aren't 300,000 cases that go to final determination every month (again, that's the initial screening) - which is why there's such a huge backlog. If the initial screening were more rigorous, the percentage of cases where asylum was granted would go up, because a higher proportion of the cases that made it past the more rigorous screening would be legitimate. - Albaby

That is even more scary. The criminals, terrorists, and previous deportees among them are mostly not detected, if at all, until their judicial hearing four years later. They range free on the taxpayer dime until then.
Separate question, is the US obliged to provide processing facilities to accommodate 100% of those who self select to come here in whatever numbers they show up?
