@markv8890 First off, I didn't say that my friends weren't working on citizenship, I said they "overstayed their visas" (they were student visas), and they've all gone back home (3 from Sweden, 1 from Finland, and 1 from Germany), so don't make assumptions like you did.
Next, my point is that many overstay their visas, and DON'T try for citizenship. In fact, many who are actually working on their citizenship and have papers turned in and are in the process, DON'T get deported, because they are in the process, and there are so many other ones who aren't. It's the ones who do NOT start that process and have overstayed their Visa, that get deported.
You make it sound like the majority of people who have overstayed their visas, are working on citizenship, and that's simply not the case.

I'm Conservative, for the wall, and haven't ever been racist in my life. My family was huge on not judging someone not only by their color, but also by their religion, job, political group, or anything, but by the way they treat you.
You think what you do about people like me, because of the media.
I challenge you to actually converse with people like me, and you'll see that we are AREN'T the slightest bit racist, and that it's all a false narrative being driven by the left.

@markv8890 You seem to think that there isn't a path... Let me enlighten you a bit.
https://www.usa.gov/become-us-citizen
Here's how people do it. And they are working on it ALL THE TIME!
The reason people don't do this, is because it takes time, dedication, planning, and many people don't care, because if they snuck in, they don't think they'll get caught. Back in 1999, I knew a handful of immigrants from Mexico, who'd snuck in and made it all the way up to WA state. Now, because of what they'd done and how they got here, they were in a bit of a predicament, because they didn't come in LEGALLY, so it was going to be much more difficult. In fact, the female had even asked if she could marry my then boyfriend, so she could work on getting her (green card), that way. Talk about awkward, when she was having that talk in front of me AND HER BOYFRIEND.
Also, if somebody overstays their VISA, and then tries for citizenship, when they are now here illegally, that doesn't help either.
I know a lot about this, having grown up with exchange students from around the world (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Japan, Brazil, etc), who then sought citizenship after H.S., Also friends in college who were exchange students (the ones I shared, plus others from Tanzania, Poland, Sweden and Australia), who all returned home, except a couple from Tanzania, who ended up getting married to girls here.
Many people think that there's no pathway to citizenship, but the truth is, it's just not an easy path, as it shouldn't be. It's not easy in other countries, and it shouldn't be here. People need to work to gain their citizenship. People need to be vetted and checked, and there's nothing wrong with that.

@markv8890 if you go back and read my comment, what I said was...
"Many of those people (I have friends included), overstay their visas, and don't work on getting citizenship, knowing that's their plan to begin with."
Now, as I said in my follow up, which you must've ignored, my friends were on STUDENT VISAS, and went back. It was a matter of a week for one, and a month for the other, because of when their Visas originally started (beginning of summer), and when school finished (beginning of summer) and them wanting to spend some extra time with the friends they'd met, and traveling to meet their families before they went back.
My point was meaning that they overstayed their Visa's yes, but the whole "working on citizenship" was moot, because they were going back to Sweden.
Out of the 10+ students/friends I met, 2 did this... Was it okay, no, but I'm explaining a situation for you, so you ACTUALLY understand my comment, since maybe I didn't clarify it well enough the first time.
Now... With that being said, many students and workers, stay after an expired visa, and they haven't even started trying to become a citizen.
That's where the problem lies. They wait until after expiration, when their name and everything will be flagged, to then start the process for citizenship. Do some start it earlier, of course. Many start it, even before they arrive to the US.
