491,518 total whites registered.
601,675 total blacks registered.

So you believe that at least 50% of Hispanics are illegal because they have 200,000 less registered voters than Whites. Well since Whites have 100,000 less registered voters than Blacks, logic would conclude that many Whites in Chicago are illegal, certainly not majority, but a sizable number.

So some = majority? Just like the word electioneering doesn't mean campaigning. I suggest you buy a dictionary.

The simple answer is the Constitution mandates an actual head count versus an estimate or an extrapolation based on calibrations or whatever else. The Census Bureau can use those all they like for their estimates. But when it comes to the official decennial tally, they have to go by however many they physically count.

Buy a dictionary and look up the word MANY. Get your eyes checked as well.
