If that were true then the Dems and the MSM would be leading the charge against amnesty.

First of all most new arrivals to this country are less likely to vote than the average American, even if they are naturalized citizens. Their kids do vote though. The sons and daughters of the illegals of the 80's that Reagan did give amnesty to provided the margin of victory to Bush in both 2000 and 2004. Bush and other Republicans have been getting around 40% of the Latino vote.

Up until the last few months, a majority of Hispanics have been pretty non political and have not voted. Since the House voted to label their fathers and grandfathers felons and threaten to send them back to Mexico, they have become energized about voting. If the House bill stands and there is no earned path to citizenship, more and more of them will vote and yes they will vote Democrat. This will be similar to what happened following Pete Wilson's gubernatorial campaign and the various propositions passed (and overruled by the courts) that changed California from a swing state to one of the bluest of Blue states.
