80% is most.
Most is the comparatively greater number, whether by a few or many. Perhaps you are conflating most with much.

Would you say that "Most Americans are females"?
No, it doesn't. We can't discuss anything numerical if you insist on redefining the words we use.That would be literally correct. The term is used in a comparative sense, not a superlative sense. Most often most simply means more than.
But most Americans are female......No, it doesn't. We can't discuss anything numerical if you insist on redefining the words we use.
It would be an outright lie to say that most Americans are female.
It would be accurate to say that about half of Americans are female.
Immigrants in the US are actually less likely to commit crimes than native-born citizens, partly because they have everything to lose. In the case of undocumented immigrants, the last thing they want to do is attract the attention of the authorities. Furthermore, Mexicans have one of the lowest rates of incarceration among foreign-born Hispanic males in the United States.
I think you're comparing apples to oranges. We're talking about illegal immigrants and not just from Mexico. Fact is, illegals commit crime at higher rates than citizens. Under Obama, they don't have much to be afraid of.
Not so silly. It has been documented that upwards of 10% of illegal aliens do vote. (Hint: There's a reason they're referred to as illegal.)That's quite a silly question... no non-citizen can vote, whether documented or undocumented.
Uh, documented by whom?Not so silly. It has been documented that upwards of 10% of illegal aliens do vote. (Hint: There's a reason they're referred to as illegal.)
Noting further than many states facilitate such illegal voting by refusing to implement voter ID.
I did too. The ink was hardly dry when my country suspended my constitutional rights. Oh the irony.
Were you forced to join - ordered by a judge to either jail or military? Were you honorably discharged or was it something else? How long were you in? What was your MOS? Did you complete basic training? I ask these questions because what you say raises red flags.
Your questions make me think you aren't familiar with the Universal Code of Military Justice (U.C.M.J). Every member of the armed forces comes under the U.C.M.J, which does suspend many constitutional rights. Soldiers get to defend rights that they themselves don't have, thus the irony.
You didn't know that going into it?
Did you think that when the Commander in Chief ordered a military action, the troops got to vote on it?
I always assumed I'd get shot if I didn't obey an order in wartime. No U.C.M.J needed.
