About 50 people rallied in downtown Oklahoma City on Saturday to show support for one of the toughest immigration laws in the United States.

The rally came five weeks after House Bill 1804 went into effect. The controversial law ends most state benefits for illegal immigrants, makes it a felony to harbor or transport someone who is here illegally and will punish employers who hire undocumented workers.

Why did they gather?
Saturday's speakers said the law is valid and morally correct.

"I think the citizens of Oklahoma have spoken very loudly. They believe and trust the rule of law. That's what we expect to be enforced,” said Carol Helm, founder of Immigration Reform for Oklahoma Now. "All the opposition is, is somebody who is profiting from illegal aliens. If, in fact, the people that are yelling right now would actually be honest about the issue and let us know how they have profited by illegal aliens, then that would be a benefit to the entire state of Oklahoma.
