Sure, there is always a theoretical chance that some ISIS people escaped to camps and will be among those selected and we certainly don't want that ideology being spread here. There were Nazi war criminals that immigrated to Canada after WW2 as well, so the system isn't fool proof. But should that stop us from doing the right thing? The due diligence will be laboursome, no doubt about it. But that doesn't mean that it needs to take a long time.
I'm just not sure about bringing 25000 refugees in 6 weeks. US is planning to bring only 10000 in 2016 and so far they just accepted 1800 refugees from Syria.
