That's because it is a developing issue and not one that happened immediately.
Okay, singular event was probably not the right way to phrase it. But even looking at the progression of events over say that last 10-15 years, and there really hasn't been anything I would say has caused this recent furor over it. I guess maybe the economic downturn in 2008 and 2009 triggered some of it when Americans were out of work while illegals were still working. But by many measures the economy has improved since then.

It may also be a case of an issue being downstream of a candidate - it became a discussion point because Trump made it a plank of his campaign, or at least presented his opinions on the matter in such a way that it spoke to his primary voters, who were otherwise going to vote based on something else.
