A 'path to citizenship' is not citizenship. Don't get confused into thinking they are the same thing.
A path to citizenship is legally just saying X can apply to be a citizen. It does not exclude X from being vetted and potentially deported for failing to meet the standards. It does not guarantee work visa or resident aliens status. It's an empty gesture.
DACA circumvented the normal procedures for acquiring citizenship. If DACA receipents were forced to properly apply for citizenship, even with today's lenient standards, the majority would end up deported. This is why the Democrats are pissed because they know Trump is offering them a sham deal.

The president chooses his words carefully even when he's shitposting. Biding time till DACA officially expires is also an option because it is gone in March.
Interestingly, if illegals could be tricked enmasse into applying for citizenship it would completely expose the network of NGO sponsers and employers helping them with no extra effort from ICE.
