Trump claims Hilary's 3 million popular vote margin came from votes from non citizens. There are fewer than 12 million undocumented residents. I previously proved claims of a much higher number are wrong. For instance the percentage of Arizona death certificates designated Hispanic means that if the inflated estimates of illegals in Arizona were correct then the illegals have a life expectancy of about 300 years. About one in six undocumented are under 18 so maybe 10 million are of voting age. Almost half live in states with strict ID laws to register or vote, like Texas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia etc. So maybe 6 million could cast votes. But only 60 percent of eligible voters actually vote. Since the undocumented tend to be young then surely fewer than half would vote were it legal for them to do that. So if all voted Hillary that could be 3.6 million. But some would vote for Trump just as some Blacks and hispanics do. If the split were 90 to 10 then hillary's margin would be 80% or less than her 2.9 million winning margin.
And the odds that undocumented voters would vote at the same rate as legals of the same age? Zero. It did not happen. In CA you can request absentee ballots in your language. In 2012 only 2.5 % of such ballots were not in English. If illegals were voting it would be at least 7 or 8 percent since many illegals don't speak English.
