Live Blog: The Second U.S. Presidential Debate

Question 6: A man in the audience, saying times remain tough. Obama outlines economic progress his administration has made, but acknowledges that a lot of Americans are still struggling.

He says the commitments he's made he has kept and those that he has not been able to keep are not for lack of trying. He says his administration will get it done in a second term.

Obama criticizes several of Romney's stated initiatives including cutting funding for Planned Parenthood and repealing the president's health care plan, also known as Obamacare.

Romney tells audience member that the nation can't afford four more years like the last four years. Romney says the president has not gotten done what he said he was going to do, including on immigration. Romney says the middle class is getting crushed under the policies of a president Romney says does not know what it takes to get the economy working again.

Romney says the economy is growing more slowly this year than last year, and grew more slowly last year than the year before. He says the president wants to do well but that the policies he's put in place have not allowed the country to take off and grow like it could have.

Romney says the president has tried, but his policies haven't worked. Romney says Obama is great as a speaker but that his record shows he hasn't been able to cut the deficit or achieve other goals.

Question 7: Woman in audience asks Romney what he would do about undocumented immigrants living in the U.S.

Romney says the country is a nation of immigrants and that "we welcome legal immigrants into this country." He says he wants the process to be streamlined.

Romney says he will not grant amnesty to people who have come here illegally.

Romney says the kids of those who came here illegally should have a pathway to become a permanent resident of the U.S., such as through military service.

Romney challenges Obama record on immigration, asking why Obama failed to pass an immigration bill during his first term.

Obama says the U.S. is a nation of immigrants. Obama says young people who have come here understand themselves as Americans and that the nation should make sure it gives them a pathway to citizenship. Obama says Romney said he would veto the DREAM Act that would allow these young people to have access. Obama says Romney encouraged self-deportation and called the Arizona law a "model for the nation."

Obama says Romney's charge that he did not try is not true.

Romney says he did not say that the Arizona law is a model for the nation but that the e-Verify portion allowing employers to determine whether a person is in the country illegally was a model for the nation.

Romney says his view is that Obama should have honored his promise to accomplish immigration reform in his first year in office.

Romney says he is not in favor of rounding up people and taking them out of this country, but of allowing them to choose.

Obama attempts to interrupt Romney as Romney begins to address issue of Chinese companies.
