Flashback: Joe Biden, in 2014 speech, spoke of a 'crisis' at the border

In a 2014 speech, then-Vice President Joe Biden spoke repeatedly of a "crisis" at the border -- a contrast to the current Biden White House’s reluctance to describe a much larger surge as such, instead referring to it as a "challenge."

"We also agreed that this is a matter of shared responsibility -- not just the United States, but shared responsibility of every Central American country and Mexico.  And I will address in a minute, but we’re all committed to take both immediate steps in the crisis and long-term challenges that we’re going to have to meet," he said. He then said he was "going to address the steps we’re taking on the immediate crisis in a moment" but first wanted to talk about the work needed to give Central Americans security and not feel the need to migrate.
