Republicans’ use of illegal immigration as an issue in several
Senate campaigns is raising questions about what the party wants to be
in the longer term.

What the Republicans want is the position of power.
After the election they hope to have it.
The G.O.P. feels that blowback is a small price to pay.

Representative Michael G. Grimm and his challenger, Domenic M.
Recchia Jr., largely played to type, at times appearing to relish the
event’s devolution into shouting.
Midterm Elections (2014); Debates (Political); Elections, House of Representatives
"Yet in his final remarks, Mr. Grimm seemed to stumble while trumpeting
his loyalty to constituents. “People in my district, they know me,” he
said, adding, “I’m there when I need them.”"
A double case of foot in mouth disease.
I do not vote in that district.

Four days had passed since their overcrowded migrant boat had
capsized in the Mediterranean, after being rammed in an apparent quarrel
between smugglers. They were now weak and hallucinating.
Smuggling; Illegal Immigration; Maritime Accidents and Safety; Immigration and Emigration
The smugglers are opportunists. There is an infinite supply of those.
The refugees are the cleverest part of he population. They have resources.
The waste of it bothers me.
I am glad the slave trade is abolished.

That means it is thought the Democrat has a good chance.

rates in mid-2015, although it now seems less likely to act sooner,
analysts say.

Faith is a wonder.
The Federal Reserve bank will not raise interest rates.

That would not be a bad idea.
