I know, the answer is no. But good luck finding it on Google. Nothing but wingnuts. Can someone please help me debunk the video and questions below?

QUESTIONS THAT THE CENSUS BUREAU REFUSED OR FAILED TO ANSWER (from Jerry Day's Matrix News Network segment: "The Census Is Getting Personal") I strongly suggest asking these questions of your Census Taker, especially if they show up with an "American Community Survey" form:
- The Constitution authorizes government to count people but it does not authorize the taking of private information or even the names of individuals. From where does the Census Bureau derive authority to demand our private information?
- Is there any limit to the amount and type of private information that the Census bureau may demand and collect?
- Under what Constitutional authority does the Census Bureau collect information now from 250,000 people per month of every year?
- The 4th Amendment to the Constitution prohibits government search and seizure of private information without a court warrant based on probable cause. Current Census policies violate that Amendment do they not?
- By what Constitutional authority does the Census Bureau threaten penalties for failure to provide personal information?
- The Census Bureau claims it maintains privacy of personal information. Are there any circumstances under which law enforcement or spy agencies can access Census information?
- Since presumably Census data may be subpoenaed by law enforcement, may individuals refuse to answer questions according to the fifth Amendment?
- Why has the Census Bureau decided to collect GPS coordinates for every home?
- Virtually every government database has been either lost, hacked or compromised. Would the Census Bureau's claim of data security not be an outright lie or at best highly improbable?
- How would the Census Bureau locate, protect and compensate those individuals whose data becomes compromised?
