Southern California business owners frustrated as oil spill forces them to close shop
CNN
Jaz Kaner has never experienced an oil spill that closed beaches and waterways in Southern California. The oil spill is having an adverse affect on his and other businesses that are dependent on the ocean.
The lifelong surfer and owner of Banzai Surf Company in Huntington Beach told CNN he voluntarily closed his business after thousands of gallons of crude oil spewed into the Pacific Ocean late last week. The spill has shuttered several beaches and threatened wildlife.
Kaner said his surf school had a lot of reservations and that this is usually a very busy year.
President Joe Biden is expected to announce an executive order as early as Tuesday that would effectively shut down the US-Mexico border to asylum-seekers crossing illegally when a daily threshold of crossings is exceeded – a sweeping and controversial proposal that is likely to receive fierce pushback from progressives and immigration advocates.

Instead, Hunter Biden was seen at the White House and in Delaware at his father’s side amid what the president’s allies acknowledge is a difficult moment for both men.
