Answer 2

yes you do believe me you will want one to show youare citizens its not easy to get back if you don't have proper papers. take care and have fun.

Answer 3

I cross international borders a lot.

There is only one simple thing to remember. Whenever you cross ANY international border, you need a passport.

Only in the EU you dont need one to cross EU country borders, but you still needed your passport to get in (and out)again..

You very DEFINATELY need one to enter Mexico amigo

Answer 4

i dont think so i think only if you go on a airplane leaving the U.S so i dont think so

Answer 5

You got several WRONG answers.  Passports  are required to FLY to and from Mexico.  They are NOT needed for LAND and SAE travel.  That requirement has not yet been implemented, but will be by June 2009.  See site below to see that NOW you need a photo I.D. and a proof of citizenship..EITHER a passport or a birth certificate for LAND travel.  KIds just need the birth certificate.

Answer 6

You need either a US Passport or Passport Card to enter the United States via sea or land, if you are flying, you must have a valid passport.  

They will turn you back at the border if you do not have your US Passport, and you will have to go to the US Embassy in Mexico City and request a new passport for every member of your family.
