\"What<\/a>Instead of finalizing the details of a 10-point immigration plan<\/a> the White House is expected to debut this week, President Obama may need to explain the contradicting views on immigration that he included in his 2006 autobiography, \u201cThe Audacity of Hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Daily Caller<\/a>, Obama carved out a chapter of the memoir to share his thoughts on immigration, including concerns about the negative effects record levels of immigration were already having on the country\u2019s economic well-being.<\/p>\n

The book\u2019s message \u2013 a call to reclaim the American Dream \u2013 was intended to woo undecided voters; especially blue-collar workers whom he acknowledged had a legitimate concern of losing their jobs to immigrants willing to work at lower wages.<\/p>\n

In light of these new-found remarks, allegations that true immigration<\/a> reformers in the Republican Party have made against the president, in regard to high immigration levels causing job displacement<\/a>, a growing income gap and overpopulation, have been validated by Obama\u2019s own statements below.<\/p>\n
