Loading ...Illinois Law Forces Landlords To Rent To Illegals Or Face Civil Rights Violations
What about helping the homeless?
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker signed SB 1817 into law, which mandates landlords must rent property to illegal immigrants. Democrats in this ultra-progressive crime-ridden state are under fire for prioritizing the needs of migrants over the needs of their constituents.
Breitbart first reported Pritzker signed SB 1817 into law on June 30. The rule amends the Illinois Human Rights Act to include “immigration status” as a protected class. This means landlords could get slapped with a civil rights violation if they ‘discriminate’ against a migrant.
“This law sets clear boundaries, protecting the rights of immigrants and ensuring that financial institutions and service providers cannot engage in discriminatory practices,” Democratic State Sen. Ann Gillespie wrote in a statement.
Gillespie continued, “Putting these protections in place will promote fairness to ensure people are not unjustly denied housing.”
Landlords rent to whomever pays the most rent. This ain’t rocket science!
