Answer:

To give equal rights and to civilize all people born and those who immigrated in the U.S.

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, this is saying that all immigrants shall receive the same rights as others who live in the U.S. and all future people born in the U.S. are to receive the same and no one is allowed to take those rights away.
