Yes, to Biden, that was old news and therefore not worthy of discussion.  You know what they say in Washington, if you don't like the question, ignore the question and provide the answer to something you want to talk about.  The truth is that there are no excuses for what has happened.  He's a fool and incompetent as he has proved in every political office he has held.  The man is not a leader - at best he is a good second banana, but even Obama had his reservations about that.  

Some of us are old enough to remember when we pumped so much money in Cental America in the early 90s, to try to sway the outcome of the civil war in El Salvador and to stop the drugs passing through the other Central American countries.  I've been to a number of those countries a number of times.  Part of the problem is the crushing poverty, part of it is cultural, and the corruption is staggering and so ingrained in their culture.  Even something as simple as getting a driver's license involves providing a payoff to the clerk over and above any fees that might otherwise be required.  You do nothing there that doesn't involve a payoff.  And now there is the problem of the gangs.  The Salvadorans in particular, but other countries too, bring the gang mindset when they come.  Local gangs control things and if you don't want something to happen to you, you payoff the gangs or you will eventually die. There isn't much industry to speak of, and no one is going to put industry down there.  Some come here becasue they truly do want to work and earn and make things better for their families.  But others are very well versed in the public welfare system of the US.  So Kamala can think and study all she wants but the only solution is to tighten our border security and to make them go through our immigration system.  Trump had that one right.
