Census Lister has lost their mind if they think they have the “RIGHT” to be on MY Property. I have nothing against collecting data for the census and I believe it is important but don’t you dare tell me you care RIGHT to be on my property. You may want to read the “Bill of Rights”

@Sedition

It IS illegal and punishable to skip out on the census. The Sentencing Reform Act of 1984 increased the fine for any criminal misdemeanor – which is what refusing to answer census questions is – to as much as $5,000 (whereas it was $100) effectively raising the penalty fiftyfold for refusing to answer a census question.

@Rafael Conspiracy theory much? Smh. Every president has census information at his finger tips. Having access to information doesn’t inherently make the person evil or automatically suggest the person is even using the information on an intermittent or regular basis.

I can only hope our government is using all available information available to apprehend criminals and either send them to jail or deport them. Let’s not forget illegal immigrants are CRIMINALS in the eye of the law.

@Spyvsspy—You may want to look up the word “censure”. I think you really meant to say census! Quite a difference in meaning between those two words.

@Census Lister

I have read the comments from top to bottom and no entry except yours mentioned physical altercation.

@Rita Jenne-Ryan

As far as what questions I must answer…I answer only the questions that have a valid reason for being asked for the purpose of proper representation. How many toilets I have in my house has no bearing on that purpose.

I have refused to answer unrelated questions in the past, and except for receiving a phone call and a visit, to which I refused to answer the inappropriate questions and called the sheriff’s office on the visitor who was TOLD not to come, I have received no fines.

There are laws that we, as citizens must follow. There are also laws that government must follow even though they constantly surpass and usurp authority over those laws. Government must be kept in check just as citizens must be kept in check.

@James,
To think that our Government wouldn’t use the amassed data to verify identification would be absurd. Yes, our president has the data at his fingertips to extract info from a database. They’ve used satellite imagery (data) to assist these ground workers to explore possible hidden dwellings where people may be living. They ARE checking RVs on private property and large buildings on private property. Hence why these ground workers are invading the back yards. Thoughts ?

Last week someone was knocking on the door. Went to the answer and no one was there but a vehicle parked in my driveway with no sign or ID. Walked out to investigate found a census working knocking on my BACK door! Not a good idea. They need better training. We need a number to call to verify they are actually who they say they are.

The ignorance in many of these comments is astounding, and yet not surprising. For instance, thinking Republicans and Trump somehow secretly are using the address verification to assist ICE. What is the reasoning Obama used the same address verification during the 2010 census? Let me guess, your answer is “duh, blah blah, hate Trump.”
