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.

I guess that was the culmination, but there was a lot of backlash towards the Republicans in the Gang of Eight. I thought that was a very reasonable and humanitarian bill, but it was spun by some on the right as an amnesty bill. Trump just capitalized on that furor.
