Crossing the Border? On foot!?

Question

Hi their,i know their asking for passport if u take a plane,i know a person that has a green card and that person wants to know if he needs a passport to cross on foot? Can he get by with his green card and does he need his passport? Tijuana-into- San diego!

Answer 1

Travel by land or sea

Those traveling by land or by feet or sea must present two forms of valid identification such as a birth certificate or naturalization certificate and a driver's license or other identification issued by a state or official agency.

Answer 2

He is good to go with a green card.

I have heard all the hype too and the last time I crossed I showed my Permanent resident card and the I.N.S.guy squinted long enough to see the Canadian flag. He said "Are you going home?" I said yea and he said have a good day.

You can bet the June 2009 issues will not be strictly enforced.

I just can NOT SEE an American being sent back to Mexico for not having a passport---It is NOT going to happen
