CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton ridiculed Donald Trump's plan to deport all undocumented immigrants and then allow provisional returns as unrealistic "political rhetoric" as she sought votes Sunday amid falling poll numbers here.
Trump, who is seeking the GOP nomination, said he would force undocumented immigrants to return to their home countries and apply for reentry. He has not said exactly how he would make that happen.
