We just had a "lister" come to the front door a few minutes ago. Weird, because we live in an upper-end, single-family neighborhood that's been established for nearly 60 years, so seems unlikely our address wasn't one of the 65% easily verified by public online databases and maps. Maybe it was because we were un-cooperative last census, filling in only the number of adults who were resident (myself and Mrs. catnipman).

At any rate, it was Mrs. catnipman who answered the door and the "lister" asked if she had our address correct, and Mrs. catnipman said yes, and then the "lister" asked if anyone was living here illegally in our basement (we don't have one) or "out back" (nothing back there but a barn we use as an equipment shed, but maybe they saw the barn on a satellite image). At any rate, Mrs. catnipman said no and shut the door, refusing to answer any more questions.

BTW, it IS extremely important that all legal voting-age adults be counted so that House districts are apportioned correctly amongst the states, though the rest of the data they want I personally could care less about ...

They are doing us a great service, why be rude?

What pisses me off is the census required that I give them much more information than normal, some kind of community survey. And yet, you can’t ask whether someone is illegal.
