He decided the current vetting was no good before finding out what was being done now. If he had handled this right, he would have had checked the current vetting process.

Their first point of a refugee's contact is with the U.N. High Commission for Refugees. The UNHCR refers people to countries based on whether they have any family members there and where resettlement makes the most sense, say U.S. officials. If that's the U.S., then refugees are vetted by the National Counterterrorism Center, the FBI's Terrorist Screening Center, and the Departments of State, Defense and Homeland Security. Fingerprints are taken, biographical information is collected. They are then each individually interviewed by U.S. officials trained to verify that they're bona fide refugees.

IF he then believed it wasn't enough, THEN he could have ordered a better plan be developed. I BET if asked, he wouldnn't know what the current process is, or why he thinks it's wrong.
