It was my understanding that if you applied for asylum you were supposed to get a hearing. If this is not true can you please explain further or pass on a link with more information.

There are categories of folks not eligible.

CLP, which is still currently in place, permits removal without a hearing.
In other cases, folks who aren't eligible for asylum, could theoretically try to apply for withholding of removal. But they're typically already in the U.S.

Folks who have been deported previously and/or are subject to a ban can be deported again immediately.

Expedited removal is possible under certain circumstances

Additionally folks who passed up a safe third country aren't eligible to apply and will be deported back to that third country (happens a lot with folks being sent back to Mexico)
Folks who missed their one year window aren't eligible.
Folks who have committed certain crimes aren't eligible.
Folks who were previously denied asylum aren't eligible.

Also don't forget that you have to apply under the correct categories. And have fear of returning. While a lot of folks are coached in what to say, even if they don't qualify, those folks help gum up the works.
Basically... avoid using absolutes.
