It's not a matter of "easy" or "hard", it's a matter of how much money you're willing to spend on processing asylum claims. Hiring more immigration lawyers, building more offices, hiring more officers for patrolling borders and ensuring seekers get across safely, and not wandering around kicking over water reservoirs[1].
Considering the US is spending $210 million[2] to lob gas canisters at a migrant caravan instead of processing their claims, I don't think it's a matter of not having enough cash.
also, Canada saw 25,000 asylum claims last year[3]
