Guy Ott, with a St. Louis-based operating engineers union, said that businesses should have to prove their workers are legally in the United States.

Democratic lawmakers and Attorney General Jay Nixon spoke at Tuesday's rally. Nixon, who is running for governor, pledged to represent organized labor's interests, including on illegal immigration.
