LOCAL VIEW: Arizona law result of federal failures     In
Washington, there are two sides to the immigration debate. On
one hand there is the moderate bipartisan drive to fix our
broken immigration system. The best and most recent example of
this was in 2007 when Rep. Heath Shuler, D-N.C., was joined by
157 of his colleagues in the 110th Congress, including members
of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the Congressional Black
Caucus, to introduce the Secure America with Verification and
Enforcement Act (the SAVE Act, or H.R. 4088) which targeted the
root of our national immigration problem: American employers who
exploit cheap and illegal labor.    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
and her pro-amnesty group of partisan lawmakers are holding our
nation hostage from moving forward on any other solution. In
most cities, this is called extortion; in Washington it is the
speaker's political game that has lead to Arizona taking matters
into its own hands.
