Reality television star Rick Harrison of "Pawn Stars" is slated to host GOP presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio's birthday party fundraiser later on this month.

On Tuesday, the Florida senator announced he will celebrate his 44th birthday on Thursday, May 28, in Las Vegas at a birthday fundraiser at the home of Harrison, who co-owns the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, reports The Hill.

Harrison's wife, Deanna, will also host the bash, along with Lt. Gov. Mark Hutchison, who has been designated as Rubio's Nevada campaign chairman.

In addition to being a Las Vegas businessman and reality personality on the History channel, Harrison is an outspoken critic of President Barack Obama.

According to The Las Vegas Sun, GOP operative Mike Slanker will also attend the event. Slanker, who is one of the state's top Republican strategists, will run Rubio's campaign operations in Nevada.

Slanker also ran the Nevada campaign operations for former Republican presidential hopeful Gov. Rick Perry in 2012. During his campaign, Slanker is expected to tout Rubio's immigrant parentage and Latino roots in order to entice Nevada's large Hispanic population.

Earlier this month, the Republican presidential candidate criticized immigration reform activists, arguing that immigrants do not have "right" to live in the United States.

"You don't have a right to illegally immigrate here," Rubio said during a discussion at the National Review Institute's Ideas Summit in Washington, D.C., adding that he finds rhetoric that suggests undocumented residents have a right to stay in the U.S. problematic.

"And one of the problems I have with the groups out there that are advocating for immigration reform, some of them, is they approach this debate with the argument that they have a right to be here," he said. "It's not a right ... there is no right to illegally immigrate anywhere in the world."

Rubio went on to criticize immigration reform advocates, saying: "What you are appealing to is the best interest of the country. You are appealing to our morality as people. But you can't appeal to a right. There is no right to illegally immigrate anywhere in the world," reports The Daily Caller.
