2020 Census

Anyone know if the citizenship question is on the form? Just to be clear, if it isn't, I'm throwing it in the trash! Illegal aliens are just that, ILLEGAL, and I refuse to participate in a sham census! In 2000, I got a multi-page questionnaire asking a lot of, to me, very personal questions. I trashed it. Several weeks later, I got another one along with a letter telling me I could be fined $100 for not answering it. I sent it back blank, with a note asking where I needed to send the $100. Never heard from them again.

Better question before they vote.
Title XIII of the US Code dictates that all individual answers to the decennial Census or any ongoing Census Bureau survey are absolutely confidential, are to be used for statistics only, and cannot be shared with any other person or agency for 80 years.

I was extremely offended they only gave me two choices on question 4.
I answered "American" on question 7.
I started the online form this morning. Once again they got past the number, I stopped. Will be interesting to see what, if anything, happens.

mother in law got the short form . Only 7 questions . Mine has not come yet
I looked up my great grandpa's name on the 1910 census and found that they asked him for a lot more personal info than they asked me on this census.
Hey Don, I noticed when I filled mine out that if you just keep hitting submit with blank information (I think you have to do it twice) that it will then move to the next question. It tells you at first that you must fill in xyz blank, but eventually it gives up and keeps going.

How many live here, how old, and what general racial origin. That's it. Hardly tapping into our bank accounts or asking how often we have sex.
I went back and it was the short form. Interesting that you can’t ask about citizenship but have to answer male or female. Apparently the census bureau has not woke up.
Think I skipped the one about owning or owing on the house, but am not sure. Got a confirmation so it was accepted either way. Had the long form once and thought I was on the same path. Didn’t answer it 20 years ago and there wasn’t a follow up.
