Senator Marco Rubio and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg are planning on meeting in California on Wednesday, according to ABC News. The topics of discussion have not been disclosed, but one hot issue that has been on both of their minds is the immigration reform. Zuckerberg has been an advocate for a reform and recently formed FWD.us, a group focused to reach that precise goal.

Earlier this month the 29-year-old billionaire voiced his opinion in a speech in San Francisco during the premiere of Jose Antonio Vargas' documentary, "Documented." He said, ""This is something that we believe is really important for the future of our country - and for us to do what's right. No matter where they were born, (these students) are going to be tomorrow's entrepreneurs and people creating jobs in this country. These are issues that don't just touch our part of the industry, but really touch a whole country."

The meeting of Rubio and Zuckerberg comes as the former is fundraising for his PAC, Reclaim America and re-election committee. The Florida Republican Senator has said that immigrants looking to get a green card should have better English proficiency. He is one of the eight senators on the bipartisan "Gang of Eight" group that formulated the current immigration reform bill and said, "On the day we announced the principles that would shape the immigration bill, we made it clear that English proficiency would now be required for permanent residency for the first time in American history. This amendment ensures that will be the case."
