No, it is not criminal, but it is a civil violation. Note her t-shirt in the video.

They are here illegally. You may want to call it undocumented.
Fact is, when I get pulled over and I don't have my drivers license, I'm driving illegally, not undocumented.
Wrong.
But, I can't think of any context where someone would call you an "illegal driver."
Any time I drive without my license that's exactly what I am. We don't call speeders illegal driver but that's what they are.
Basically when something is against the law its illegal. So when a person is here in this country against the law, they are here illegally. It's not inflammatory. Its a statement of fact.

While this may be a state-by-state thing, I'm pretty sure that in most cases, that's not correct. You're still a legal driver; you're just unable to produce documentation to verify it (which may be its own law).
For example, PA (the first state whose law I could find) requires that you produce a license within 15 days of it being demanded:

Illegal alien describes what kind of alien one is, illegalYou seem to be missing the point. "Illegally" as an adverb to describe an action is different than "illegal" as an adjective to describe the person engaging in the activity. We don't describe unlicensed drivers as "illegal drivers" because it is the conduct, not the person that is illegal. So why the term "illegal alien" for an immigrant without proper documentation?
Sounds like it's time for an anchor baby!Much easier to get citizenship if you have family that can sponsor you.

If you're driving illegally, you're an illegal driver. If you're in this country illegally, you're an illegal alien. In the case at hand, the illegal alien is dangerous and should be deported to Peru ASAPBut not having your license on you doesn't make you an illegal driver, it just means you are driving illegally. And yes, there is a difference between the two; a driver who runs a red light is still a legal driver, but was driving illegally.
