Starting summer of _2009_, you will need a passport, a cheaper, smaller border card for which applications will be accepted starting Feb 1, 2008, or an "enhanced" drivers license from a state that goes along with the fed's definition of such a thing. (Texas doesn't so far. They will have remotely readable chips in them.) -- Mixon
Ah, yes, the enhanced drivers license. It's sort of the back entrance to the highly questionable National ID card. Many states have not bought into is because it is an invasion of privacy. I expect their objections will be slowly eroded by the Homeland Security gestapo and their minions in the various congresses. While these chips may not be trackable by satellite, there are roadside (or over-lane) sensors which'll do so. Not to worry too much, though--they're completely capable of keeping up with your exact location by the GPS features of your cell phone. You can run but you can't hide--unless you turn your phone off or go into a cave.
Why doesn't everybody that intends to go to Mexico (or anywhere else in the world) just get a passport and be done with all this daily changing uncertainty? Hell, get 2 or 3....
