How's that 'thorough' vetting of Afghan 'refugees' into the U.S. going, Joe?

Joe Biden, who abandoned hundreds of Americans in his disastrous Afghanistan pullout, ended up bringing in tens of thousands of random, unknown Afghans, later called "refugees," with no visas or vetting, into the U.S. instead.
But not to worry. Last August, he assured:
“Planes taking off from Kabul are not flying directly to the United States. They’re landing at U.S. military bases and transit centers around the world,” Biden said. “At these sites where they are landing, we are conducting thorough … security screening for everyone who is not a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident. Anyone arriving in the United States will have undergone a background check.”
“Once screened and cleared, we will welcome these Afghans who helped us in the war effort over the last 20 years to their new home in the United States of America. Because that is who we are, that is what America is,” Biden continued.
And now we see the result of all that vetting: Some 700 of them have wandered off the military bases where they were being housed for processing, according to Reuters. Nobody knows where they went.
Legal Insurrection, citing Jazz Shaw at Hot Air, points out that they gave up a lot of government benefits, such as jobs, housing, free cash, social services, visa service, medical care, English language lessons (all those "translators," you see), and more (Homeland Security has a goodie list), which was the penalty for walking off the base:
This is an astounding fact and a clear national security threat since it seems that the U.S. has no idea who these people are or where they are going. Or why.
As Jazz Shaw notes over at Hot Air, they have every incentive to stay and be processed and handed a job, housing, medical care, cash, and a host of other taxpayer-funded goodies the Biden admin is lavishing on them at our expense.
Also, while it doesn’t constitute definitive proof of anything, who just walks away from a secure place to stay with a roof over their head, free meals, and the promise of incoming cash assistance and other resources? Particularly considering the chaotic circumstances surrounding their departure from Afghanistan and the lack of time to make any arrangements in many cases, doesn’t that seem rather odd?
According to one document that’s being given to all of the evacuees, once they leave the base they can not return. They will also not be eligible for help with their immigration paperwork, cash payments, and the other benefits being funded via the continuing resolution passed on Thursday night. That sounds like a lot to give up unless you’re really motivated to get away from the base and the federal officials there.
As the evacuation went on, there were reports at the time that many of those who got on were people who had previously failed vetting, the chaotic evacuation was their golden chance.
And there were reports that actual Taliban-linked individuals got on.
