I'm from near Chicago, and I'd say the Mexican community is the largest, by far - though we have significant Puerto Rican and Colombian communities, as well. I also know a handful of Ecuadorians. Not sure how it is downstate, though.
My own town has about 25,000 people, and three-quarters of the population are Hispanic / Latino.
