No, they didn't. With Reagan only 3 million were amnestied and he thought it would only be 300,000 with the promise by a Democrat controlled congress to secure the border and that it would be the last amnesty. Yeah, right! Well, that didn't happen did it? When did Bush pick Hispanics over blacks? The Bushs' have a lot of Hispanics in their family. Jeb is married to one and he said that illegals coming here is an "act of love" and he favors amnesty for them so yes he is picking Hispanics over blacks. I certainly wouldn't vote for him. It was Ted Kennedy the Democrat that flooded our country with immigrants that also depleted job opportunities for all Americans. Yet blacks still mostly vote Democrat.
The GOP wants every able bodied American to have a job. The Democrats instead want the cheap, illegal labor to remain here and give welfare to the unemployed instead. Blacks have high unemployment. Surely they'd rather be working instead of collecting welfare? Illegals have replaced the blue-collared black and white American workers and you're ok with that? You'd vote for that to continue?
Based on the top paragraph, both parties have many politicians who are pro-illegal. You cannot saying that only the Democrats want cheap labor. Both parties put everyone else above Blacks. Reagan and Bush tried harder to get the Hispanic vote than they did for the Black vote. Basically, Bush Jr had a point. Blacks choke on the elephant, but struggle to swallow the donkey. That convinces me neither party cares. Blacks have basically done worse than everyone else no matter if there is Republican or a Democrat in office, even with some of the progress many Blacks have made.
Hillary is currently polling around ~78% of this same vote.
That's a pretty significant drop.
When I hear someone say "the Black vote", I assume they mean the majority of Black votes. Hillary Clinton did better among Blacks until President Obama won Iowa. Once that happened, Blacks got behind him.
As it is, more and more Blacks are registering independent. The number of registered Black Republicans and Black Democrats has been dropping. Black independents are on the rise. I don't think Trump will do that well. In fact, the Republican who has done the best among African-Americans is John Kasich, former governor of Ohio. Oddly enough, a White Republican mayor in Cleveland did very well among African-Americans, George Voinovich.

And why is it your concern who Blacks vote for?
The Democrats overall are the biggest panderers for the Hispanics vote via their promises of amnesty. Obama even went overboard on it by his actions is recent years.
I care that there is high unemployment among blacks because they are my fellow citizens and it can't be much of a life without having a job and getting ahead in this world. Illegal aliens have taken blue-collared jobs from them just as whites but it is more of a problem with blacks. One cannot deny that black unemployment rose with the influx of millions of illegal aliens. So why back a party that is absolutely in favor of it remaining that way?

Nobody wants to even look at how automation is supposed to replace one third of American workers in the next ten years: Smart robots will take over a third of jobs by 2025, Gartner says | PBS NewsHour. Note that is one of the PBS links because they cannot read Fox or Breitbart. But, the question is: how can we sustain the current immigration figures if our jobs are disappearing? At sometime in the future we might have to require immigrants to have a set capitol worth before they are allowed in; like Australia. But these are issues that have to be addressed and they will not go away.
