If Carpentersville passes an ordinance aimed at driving away illegal immigrants, many Hispanic residents say, the village should be ready to post a “going out of business” sign.

“The Village Board is scheduled to discuss a measure Tuesday that would penalize employers who hire illegal immigrants and landlords who rent to them. It also would make English the official language for village documents.

Towns around the country have passed similar measures, but Carpentersville’s ordinance appears to be the first of its kind in the Chicago area.”
