Immigration reform advocates meet in Phoenix on Wednesday Oct. 9. (Jeremy Hobson/Here & Now)

Petra Falcon, executive director of the advocacy group Promise Arizona, who supports comprehensive immigration reform, joined Here & Now ‘s Jeremy Hobson to talk about what the election results mean for immigration reform.
