If you are traveling by car you do not need a passport those regulations are not set to change until January of 2008. The new regulations only apply to air travel. You can get all of the information you need here at http://www.cbp.gov/
Hope this helps and have a great trip!

A Canadian or US birth certificate, combined with photo ID is still acceptable for driving across the border.
Right now, valid passports are required when flying between those two countries.
Passports are expected to become mandatory at the land border crossings in January 2008, although this date is set in stone yet.

you need a passport if travelling by air only. In Jan 2008 you will need a passport. For now a drivers license or birth certificate is fine.

You don't need a passport travelling by car, but you will need photo ID, not sure if birth certificate will do.

You must have a passport as of January 07. Birth certificates will no longer get you in and out.
It did not start with 9/11, but was one of the main reasons it is needed now.

private_jet_charter is right; you only need a passport for air travel now, you can still get into the States by car without one.

if you are driving no you do not need a passport...drivers license, is all you need for now...if you are not a citizen then you would need whatever documentation related to that...next year they are trying to make passports necessary and even that is up for debate

You definitely need a passport. It was all over the news several weeks ago. That's a confirmation.

Technically yes, however you can use your driver's license.
I've been to Canada and Mexico several times, but never brought my passport.
*If you're going to Mexico, don't drink the water :)
Good luck!
