The literal answer to your question is no, it is not.
There are some specific circumstances when it might be.
You will have to provide details for us to tell if those circumstances exist or not. But there is NO state where the answer to your question would be an unqualified yes.

Not unlawful termination, most likely. The employer can terminate for just about any reason they feel like if it does not violate EEOC statutes or some other of the very specific protected class and situation issues.
What causes confusion in some cases is that if terminated for being out sick with a doctor's statement, you can file for and in most cases will have a very good chance for being approved for unemployment insurance.
The employer may not see it so, but unemployment insurance law most cases sees an illness as something the claimant did not have control over. Of course this has to be documented by a doctor's statement, but even if you were in danger of being fired, were over the attendance points, or were really needed at work, they assume you did not get sick or have a family medical crisis deliberately.

Aye Carumba! Well, I can try to save face by pointing out that I would have expected a capital letter in there somewhere!

Last I heard, Illinois was still in the US, it hasn't actually up and moved to Canada yet.
