The statement by Tom Homan, as reported by Dave Weigel, constitutes public discourse as it addresses a significant public issue—immigration policy—and involves a public figure discussing potential future actions that could impact society.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement's aggressive tone and the promise of a large-scale deportation force could be seen as harmful to certain communities, potentially inciting fear and anxiety. This violates the principle of striving to do no harm with words and actions. [-2]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not directly engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech, but the aggressive language and the context of deportation could be interpreted as lacking respect for the dignity of others, particularly immigrants. [-1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion. Instead, it uses a confrontational tone that could deepen divisions and misunderstandings. [-2]
  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 constructive criticism or dialogue. It is a declaration of intent rather than an invitation to discuss or debate immigration policies. [-1]
  5. Principle 6:
    I will use my influence for the betterment of society.
    The statement uses the speaker's influence to advocate for a controversial and potentially divisive policy, which may not be seen as contributing to the betterment of society by all stakeholders. [-1]
  6. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    While the statement upholds the principle of free speech, the responsibility and integrity of using the platform are questionable given the aggressive and potentially harmful nature of the content.
