I will do the same thing I did last time.
Two adult American citizens live at this address.
The rest is none of their business.

They don’t know that I’m a hard-core conservative mole. :)

Don't EVER get the ACS [American Community Survey].
That one wants to know what toothpaste you use, and how sheets of TP you use per wipe.

I hope there will be a lot of rumors and leaks before the census warning that census information on illegals could be leaked to ICE and other law enforcement.

I worked for the US Census back in the day, and I agree that the managers had a top priority of keeping the data confidential.
However, there are limits to what they can do in the real world, and two examples of what they _cannot_ prevent are discussed in this thread (NSA backdoor hacks, Japanese internment data release).
Here is a little bedtime reading for you:

In addition, there _cannot_ be any guarantee that a future maniacal leftist government will not take the data and use it "for our own good". :-(

Gotten it.
Told them exactly the same thing.
They actually threatened me. I repeated what I had told them before. They left.

They actually threatened me. That IS one of the options.
The people I worked for never played that particular card. I think it's a failure if they think they have to do it.

I know it is an option but it was a real stupid one to choose. I would have been happy to have made a federal case out of it.
Apparently they decided it was not worth it. I wonder if they ever have gone that far?
