The motorist will may have other penalties such as deportation, because of the consequences of being an illegal citizen or considered an illegal alien. The penalties will be up to the court in which the violator has to attend to take care of the citation.

The penalties for an illegal citizen driving without a license might change in next few years as different bills are presented in CA. The latest one, that did not pass, was to exempt illegal immigrants from having their vehicle impounded.
