It was his fifth address, and his fifth year in office.  He said, "It is believed that under the recent [[Chinese Exclusion Act|amendment of the act]] extending the time for registration the Chinese laborers thereto entitled who desire to reside in this country will now avail themselves of the renewed privilege thus afforded of establishing by lawful procedure their right to remain, and that thereby the necessity of enforced deportation may to a great degree be avoided."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.infoplease.com/primary-sources/government/presidential-speeches/state-union-address-grover-cleveland-december-4-1893|title=State of the Union Address: Grover Cleveland (December 4, 1893)|website=www.infoplease.com}}</ref>

==Conclusion==
"In conclusion my intense feeling of responsibility impels me to invoke for the manifold interests of a generous and confiding people the most scrupulous care and to pledge my willing support to every legislative effort for the advancement of the greatness and prosperity of our beloved country. "
