Can a person become a legal resident of the US after overstaying their tourist visa for 10 years?

The question is a bit perplexing as generally it would not be possible for a foreign national to become a legal resident if he or she violated an entry visa, although there exceptions made depending upon individual circumstances. Because of the stricter Immigration laws and the aggressive enforcement of such, foreign nationals who are found to be unlawfully present in the US are subject to deportation unless they qualify under refugee or asylee status. Foreign nationals who have been unlawfully present in the US for 12 months or less can be deported and barred from applying for legal reentry for 3 years. Those who have been unlawfully present in the US for more than 12 months can be deported and barred from applying for legal reentry for 10 years.

Wouldn't be a simple thing to do. The problem is that the car would have to be registered, and the person registering it would have to hold a drivers license in the state they're registering it in, and, in order to be eligible to get a drivers license here, they'd have to establish themselves as a resident of that state (in which case, they'd have to become a resident of the US, at which point, they cease to be a tourist).
