Maher: If You’re Coming To The Melting Pot, “Melt A Little”; Dem Policy Seen As ‘Come One, Come All’ | RealClearPolitics

While not a fan of some of Maher’s blind spots on religion and Muslims, this line captures the concept of integration (mutual partial melting) in contrast to assimilation (completely newcomer melting):

“One of the first things I said on my old show (ABC’s Politically Incorrect) is if you’re going to come to the melting pot, melt a little bit. You’ve got to melt a little,” Maher said.

Of course, the definition of what ‘melt a little’ means is where the public debates occur.
