He is a Secretary of Homeland Security who clearly does not believe in securing the homeland, because the border policy for the Biden administration which he is implementing is for an open border.

And this administration, this Secretary of Homeland Security, they keep trying to be creative and find ways to make illegal legal. That is wrong. So the Secretary has failed in his duty to secure that border. And as he has failed in those duties, he has also failed our Border Patrol agents.
