CINCINNATI – Leaning on a shovel as his three-man landscaping crew turned over sod at a local shopping mall, Jude Adkins stewed over what he considers the personal economic threat posed by low-wage competitors.

Adkins' remarks underscored the roiling emotions that have made illegal immigration a hot-button issue in a congressional race more than 1,800 miles from San Diego and the U.S.-Mexico border.
The closely contested battle in Ohio between Republican incumbent Steve Chabot and Democratic challenger John Cranley is not unique.
