8 year old child in the U.S could they get citizenship?

A child entering the U. S. at the age of 8 years is not by virtue of age allowed permanent residence, citizenship, or nationality of this country. I do note that currently many children who arrived in the U. S. by the age of 16, have resided here for a long time, and meet certain schooling requirements or served honorably in the U. S. Armed Forces or Coast Guard are being given the ability to stay for a duration of time and employment authorization under the Administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
