CARPENTERSVILLE, Illinois -- The ferocious argument over illegal immigration in a northwest suburb that is 40 percent Hispanic moves to the ballot box next week, providing the climax to an increasingly nasty dispute that has pushed traditional electoral issues to the side.
Six candidates chasing three seats on the Carpentersville Village Board have settled into opposing camps on a proposed ordinance meant to crack down on undocumented residents. Some want to revive discussion of the measure, which was postponed indefinitely last year, while others want to keep it frozen.
