Asylum ?? For entry to the US ??

Been a lotta talk on TV about asylum, some kind of US policy that might let people from hell hole countries into the US just because the place they come from is so bad. 
   Not sure I understand what' going on here.  Ought to be, used to be, that would be immigrants filed paperwork, perhaps too darn much paperwork, with someone, State Dept? ICE? and in all good time someone might get back to them with rejection notices or invitations to immigrate.  You would think that ordinary fairness requires that all would be immigrants get treated the same, no matter where they are coming from.  And you would think that in this age where everything and everyplace is on the internet, with broadband no less, that the someone who accepts the would be immigrant's paperwork get back within a reasonable length of time, say 5 weeks, not 5 years. 
   And just what is the US asylum policy? and how does it fit in?  And is it fair to give would be immigrants from hell holes a leg up on everyone else?  Just because there home country is dreadful?
   Inquiring minds want to know.
