Listening to Tucker narrate the video was informative as usually Tucker is, but nowhere does Tucker mention Obama's role (although one of his guests does). I remember clearly that Obama was very involved in this resettlement fiasco so I went back into the Congressional Record for some backup and found this:

RESETTLEMENT ACCOUNTABILITY NATIONAL SECURITY ACT OF 2015
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the Speaker's announced policy of
January 6, 2015, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Babin) is recognized for
60 minutes as the designee of the majority leader.
Mr. BABIN. Mr. Speaker, I feel compelled to speak tonight on an issue
that impacts the safety and the security of our country. There is a
grave
[[Page H7323]]
threat to our national security that no one seems to want to talk about
or to address--we talk around it; we allude to it; we look the other
way or vainly hope that it will just go away--but sticking our heads in
the sand will not make it go away. Instead, the threat is growing, and
a lack of knowledge, foresight, and action on our part could jeopardize
the future of our children and our grandchildren. The threat that I am
referring to is the Refugee Resettlement Act.
Today, I want to share with my colleagues and the Nation some very
important aspects of the Refugee Resettlement Program, which, I hope,
will result in serious debate and in an effective reevaluation of our
current refugee resettlement policies.
After events like 9/11 and the Boston Marathon bombing, you would
think that America would have implemented a more rigorous screening
process for allowing entry into the United States. On the contrary, as
the world becomes increasingly more dangerous, significant security
gaps remain.
President Obama has recently announced his plans to increase from
70,000 to 85,000 the number of refugees allowed into the United States
in 2016, next year, and, for 2017, he plans to bring in 100,000. Most
of the increase is from Syria and western Iraq, a direct result of the
conflict of ISIS and of Mr. Obama's own weak, disjointed foreign
policy.
In addition to the alarming national security concerns the
resettlement program poses, there are significant costs that will be
placed on the U.S. taxpayer and on State and local governments. The
numbers that we have seen suggest a large economic burden on Americans,
and we don't even know the full extent of all of the costs of this
program.
This is why I have introduced H.R. 3314, the Resettlement
Accountability National Security Act of 2015. My bill places an
immediate moratorium on the U.S. Refugee Resettlement Program until the
Government Accountability Office conducts a study to determine the
economic costs to the American taxpayer and until Congress analyzes the
risks to our national security.
According to the U.S. Refugee Admissions' database, nearly 500,000
new refugees have come into the United States under the Refugee
Resettlement Program since President Obama first took office...blah, blah, blah
So Obama did it!
