A small village in Illinois is “cracking down” on Latino immigrants and declaring English the “official language” of the town, called Carpentersville. Whatever happened to that sweet midwestern hospitality?

In northwest Carpentersville, village trustees are proposing to make English the town’s official language and fine businesses or landlords who employ or rent to illegal immigrants.

It’s stirring up quite a controversy.

Two village trustees said the influx of immigrants is hindering the community. The so-called “illegals” are draining the village’s resources, they said.

The townspeople are also lobbying for some laws which basically amount to illegal themselves, like for instance fining landlords who rent to the “illegals”.
