I got an old college friend up in Minneapolis who is an immigration lawyer and recently doing a lot of contract work for the feds on this issue. When he's spoken about it, it's been in terms of "oh shit man, what an unholy clusterfuck, we're doing our best, but there's only so much we can do".
Needless to say, lots of these migrants are gonna fall through the legal cracks, especially in hardcore sanctuary cities like Chicago, where there are already many tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants to blend into the woodwork with.
And yeah, regardless of any of that, whether they're here for 18 months or 18 years, they should be counted, as they are people living in Chicago, and in lots of other major US cities too.
