In the conclusion of Fluid Borders Lisa Bedolla sates that to “bring new voters into the political system is not necessarily in the parties’ best interest. They would be spending limited resources on engaging individuals who may or may not vote, and more important not vote for them (p. 188-189). I find this interesting because both parties are looking very closely at who can reach out to the Hispanic voters this election. Bedolla says that parties would like to spend money on partisan voters, or “sure thing voters,” but this does not seem to be the case.

Neither party necessarially swoons this group. There are groups of people that have been swooned by the parties at different times through out our countries history. The stance and positions of this group make it hard for one political party to gain a large amount of their vote. It would take the unification of values and political ideals for to happen and that may not happen over night.
