Years in the Making

"The vetting process, while not perfect, is a very, very stringent, and it can take almost up to two years for a single refugee to make it into the country," he said. [More]
So you'd say it's rigorous...?

I see that "two years" claim parroted a lot.  I wonder if there's much of a difference between "can take" and "generally does take." And in any case, do you know who was admitted into this country "almost up to two years" prior to acting out?

Two years?

Our Glorious President promised to resettle the 10,000 Syrian refugees last October (2015), and the goal was reached a few weeks ago (Aug/Sept 2016). That's not two years, not by a long shot.

Someone from France or Mexico waiting on a legal work visa might take two years, but the Syrians are being allowed in as fast as they can get on a flight.

What could possibly go wrong?
