    Perhaps men who were willing to (or able to) join the military didn't need to speak English.

    I did mine ayer. It was in English y Espanol. That's because I live in South Florida where the majority language is Spanish - but as a courtesy they also give us information in English. :p

    However, there is a large Haitian population here that will just have to wing it. But, I have already been visited by a census taker in person and she was of Haitian origin. We live in a multi-ethnic country and I suspect most of the states in the Southwest have bilingual forms.

    I live alone so I used just one page of the 12-page form - a complete waste of paper. Just the most basic information and the form wasn't even sent to ME, it was sent to my address. Now they know who lives at that address.

    When locales are undercounted the community loses money from the Feds. Unfortunately this is one of those places because ppl from other countries are hesitant to out themselves, so they don't get counted and we remain underfunded for their public assistance care.
