As a person researching her genealogy, I find census information very valuable. I have found the year in which my ancestors came to this country and from what country they came from. I have seen old census records that just generally ask if the person is naturalized or an alien. They ask what language they speak at home. They ask color in many cases which helps me decide if I have the correct person or family. It’s a source of invaluable information and you are taking this away from future generations. It’s a part of history. They wouldn’t have to ask if a person is legal but just knowing where they are from is helpful in many ways. I wish they would expand their questions further. We aren’t allowed to see the information for 80 years so don’t worry about your privacy. You’ll be dead then.
If you believe that then you must still believe in Santa. Do you honestly think this this current government doesn't look at that information now?
