It's a census year here in the US but, unfortunately, some 40% of Americans have failed to submit their census forms. There are many reasons people may have for this, but odds are, they're misinformed.
You're not putting yourself at risk of deportation, or anything else, by submitting your household's census form. Here in LA, both Governor Newsom and Mayor Garcetti have assured residents that no one will show up at their door to arrest, or deport, them as a result of completing the census.
But by not filling it out, you're jeopardizing your community in a number of ways. A big one: federal funding for various projects, like infrastructure improvements, will be sent elsewhere. They're based on population, so when your city's population is under-reported, there goes the funding it rightfully should've received.
If you haven't already submitted your 2020 census, please do so ASAP. You can do it online very easily. I didn't time it when I did mine, but it seems like it took less than 15 minutes.
Again, you're at no risk whatsoever of any bad results by filling it out, but your community may suffer financially if you don't.
