Not to hijack the thread, but to piggyback on it a little, I wonder when/why it became such a huge issue. Sure, it's always been an issue, but it seems like for a lot of people it has become THE issue. A lot of people state they voted for Trump because of his tough talk on immigration. I can't pinpoint a singular event that caused that.

That's a great question. It doesn't even crack my top 5 personally. If I could I would happily give conservatives most of what they want on immigration in return for climate change or pentagon reform

That's because it is a developing issue and not one that happened immediately. The more the effects of mass immigration became apparent, the more pressing it became to address it in the minds of voters who put weight on it.

Kate Steinle's murder may have been that event.
