Adding this question will exacerbate that issue. That's the big issue I see, is that it is going to cause the count to be even more inaccurate than is already is.

And most don't understand how the census works.  Information is to be "private" for 70 years.  But there is a fear that the current government will attempt to use the information to go after non-citizens.  Legal or not.

Let's also remember when "conservatives" felt the census was a bad thing primarily because they didn't want other groups having the information.

Now the roles have flipped.

Fear is a great/horrible tool.

And there is nothing new about that.
