The border czar is an informal title used to describe a U.S. government official who oversees or coordinates policies related to immigration and border security, including deportation. The individual is appointed by the president and implements the president’s policies. The post does not require Senate approval, which has raised questions about its authority, accountability, and constitutionality. Supporters argue that such appointments allow the president to act quickly and to coordinate policy across multiple agencies.
