Trump's Border Czar: A Key Player in Immigration Policy

TL;DR Summary
President-elect Donald Trump plans to appoint Tom Homan as his border czar, continuing a tradition of U.S. presidents appointing 'czars' to address specific issues quickly. This practice, used by presidents like Obama, who had nearly 30 czars, is controversial due to concerns about bypassing congressional oversight and creating positions without clear authority. Czars are often appointed during emergencies for swift action, but their roles are temporary and can lead to internal political conflicts.
