In the days since the Paris terrorist attacks, security and humanitarianism have been at odds in a debate over whether the U.S. should accept refugees from the Syrian civil war. Amila Merdzanovic, director of the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program, joins us to explain the process of vetting and resettling refugees in Vermont. And we talk with state Representatives Chris Pearson and Kurt Wright, who have contrasting viewpoints on questions of security and refugees seeking asylum.
Also in the program, counting crows. The late autumn skies can be filled with thousands of black crows. Bird Diva Bridget Butler joins us to explain why crows band together this time of year.
