Black people will suffer the most if amnesty is granted due to lost access to low-skill jobs. I'm surprised black advocacy groups have not been more vocal about this. I can only surmise that being against amnesty would be seen to be against Barack Obama, therefore there is silence.
actually, latino citizens have their wages hit harder by the presence of illegals than black or white citizens do.
I'm not sure what MSM means? Is it "mainstream media"?
Anyway, I don't think you can say that most US citizens do or do not support amnesty because I think the fact of the matter is that most voters are apathetic about it. There is a vocal minority who is very against it (such as many of the posters in this thread, evidently), and there is a vocal minority who is very much in support of amnesty. Most of us, though, are either indifferent or ambivalent because we prioritize other US issues above the issue of amnesty for illegal immigrants. And indifference and ambivalence often get counted as votes in favor.
If MSM does mean mainstream media, then I have to ask why you believe they support it. From what I've seen, there are more anti- anti-amnesty sentiments than pro-amnesty sentiments in the media. In other words, people seem to have more of an issue with the people against granting amnesty to illegal immigrants because such people often appear bigoted when they are represented.
The mainstream media is very liberal in the sense that it skewers any sentiments that show even an inkling of bigotry. So, this media support for amnesty that you speak of is very akin to voting for Candidate A as a vote against Candidate B as opposed to it being a vote for Candidate A: they're reporting in a way that shows disdain for the anti-amnesty people as opposed to actually supporting the pro-amnesty people.
The stories on the Internet say that we "need" amnesty and it's the right thing to do. The thing is MOST replies to those stores are about 7 to 1 AGAINST any sort of amnesty. But the "MSM" just doesn't get it.
They promote the agenda their masters tell them to. Same sex marriage, abortion, gun control, open borders, anti-Christian.

I don't think the MSM is depicting Americans opposed to amnesty as bigots. It is the ethnocentrics and liberals that are. They do so because they have no viable arguments to back up their pro-amnesty views. The truth is that for the majority of anti-amnesty Americans bigotry has nothing to do with their desire to have our immigration laws respected and enforced.
