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?
We're not obligated to do anything. We do it because we want process them, rather than just let them walk into the country unevaluated and unprocessed.
It's frustrating, when people do things that we don't want them to do. But people who are living in terrible places will try to come here, and we can't physically prevent them from crossing into U.S. territory even if we tell them that we'd prefer that they stay in the terrible place until we give them a thumbs up.
