Fake news
Source is probably tweets from Greg Phillips of VoteStart

That is a pretty impressive analysis to have been completed so fast, we look forward to seeing the methodology: however as 180 million is rather more than actually voted, even if this extraordinary analysis is correct, it does not to demonstrate that 3 million votes were illegtimate,
Also, 'non-citizen' is not the same as 'illegal', and neither actually has the right to vote (I believe).
Fake news, with all the hallmarks of a desperate attempt to muddy the waters.
Clinton is now 1.15 million votes ahead. I would not be surprised to see 2 million once all counts are complete.
Update 1 Stackexchange has a plausible explanation for the origin of the number

Update 2 This paper in the journal Electoral Studies, analysing a similar claim,concluded
Usual tactic, get your bogus number out there into the echo chamber; it takes a lot longer to debunk BS than it does to make it up. Welcome to post-truth politics.

This paper investigates the perils of making inferences about low-probability events from large-N survey data.
The authors show that a recent study purporting to demonstrate that non-citizens in the United States vote is almost certainly flawed.
The article concludes that the rate of non-citizen voting in the United States is likely 0.
