I do not know if the law is different in IL but in KY the above is only correct when the left turning person has a stop sign and the other does not.
From the DMV drivers manual for KY:
"Other special right-of-way laws to follow are:
Drivers turning left must yield to oncoming vehicles that are going straight
or turning right.
Drivers entering a traffic circle or roundabout must yield right-of-way to
drivers already in the circle.
Drivers on a minor road must yield to drivers on a main road.
At a 4-way, 3-way, or 2-way stop, the driver reaching the intersection and
stopping first should go first.
When two cars reach an uncontrolled intersection at the same time, the
car on the right should have the right-of-way."
If at a multi-stop intersection it is first there has the right away unless one direction has no sign.
