I'm unemployed fidenae stadium collapse President Obama won’t be the only one making political news in California next week. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who started his own political action committee earlier this year, plans to make public remarks about immigration reform for the first time. Zuckerberg’s group, FWD.us, has made immigration reform the first big issue on its agenda even while drawing criticism from some liberal Democrats for controversial television ads it funded. The 29-year-old Zuckerberg will speak on Monday at a San Francisco-area movie screening of a film about undocumented immigrants. Attendees are expected to include “Silicon Valley tech stars along with dozens of Asian and Latino youths brought to this country as children — the Dreamers,” according to the San Francisco Chronicle. But billionaires beware: Money isn’t everything. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who started groups in support of immigration reform and gun control, is coming under criticism for some of his efforts. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., pointed some of the blame for the failed push for comprehensive background checks directly at Bloomberg. Leahy, in an interview set to air on C-SPAN over the weekend, said Bloomberg’s tactics actually damaged lawmakers’ chances of convincing senators to come on board with the gun legislation.
