OTTUMWA, Iowa - Iowa is roughly 1,000 miles from the U.S.-Mexican border, and less than 5 percent of its population is immigrants.
But illegal immigration is a burning issue in this largely White, Midwestern state, and it's dominating the Republican presidential race here.
On Thursday, Iowa will decide in its caucuses whether to reward the candidates who have vowed to crack down on border crossers. If it does, the debate could get even hotter in the general election.
