About This Quote

The mission of the United States is one of benevolent assimilation is a quote by United States President, Grover Cleveland. He was referring to the idea that the primary purposes of the United States are to provide an environment that is safe for immigrants and to encourage assimilation. The United States government has many laws that are designed to allow people from other countries to come in with an understanding that they are expected to become Americans. The idea is that people who come to America must adapt to our culture, traditions and values in order to be accepted.
