Springfield, IL -(Effingham Radio)- Illinois lawmakers are a step closer to providing new legal protections to people who aren’t in this country legally.
The Illinois Senate yesterday easily overrode Governor Rauner’s veto of a plan that would give police departments in the state 90 days to finish the paperwork that would allow immigrants to get a Visa to stay in the country.
The idea is to protect people who have been the victim of a crime.
