Ron DeSantis

The statement involves a policy decision regarding the prohibition of counties and municipalities from accepting IDs issued to individuals classified as illegal aliens. This is a substantive engagement with public issues, specifically immigration policy, and thus constitutes public discourse.

1. Principle 1:

   I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.

   The statement may indirectly cause harm by potentially marginalizing a group based on their immigration status, which could affect their access to services and integration into the community. [-1]
2. Principle 2:

   I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.

   The statement respects the legal framework but may compromise the dignity of individuals by labeling them as 'illegal aliens,' which can be seen as dehumanizing. [-1]
3. Principle 3:

   I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.

   The statement does not promote understanding or empathy towards individuals affected by the policy, rather it focuses on enforcement and legal boundaries. [-1]
4. Principle 4:

   I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.

   The statement does not engage in a dialogue but rather announces a legislative action which does not invite or encourage constructive criticism or alternative viewpoints. [-1]
5. Principle 6:

   I will use my influence for the betterment of society.

   The statement uses influence to promote a specific policy action, which aligns with certain political and social goals but may not necessarily reflect a broader societal benefit, especially in terms of inclusivity and human rights. [+1]
6. Principle 7:

   I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.

   The statement upholds the principles of using a platform to discuss public policies; however, the integrity of the approach could be questioned if it significantly impacts vulnerable populations negatively.
