Arrow do we need to have a passport when crossing the border over to Mexico and back?
hey what up fellas.... i have plans to go to rosarito for memorial day weekend. i am planning to crash at a beach house that i have access to down there and also get wasted and club it with my girl and a couple of friends. BUT, a good question came up by mom..."do you have a passport, cuz i believe that you need one to come back to the states?" well i am trying to do research on that topic but haven't gotten good evidence. so what is the verdict here fellas? do i need a passport?

Nope, not if traveling by foot/boat/car/bike/mule/woman.

But you'll need your driver's license and birth cert.

Either you misunderstood the customs agent or he's a dipshit.

Don't keep all your money in your wallet. Only keep a few bucks in there.

Maybe the requirement changed in-between, because it won't happen for land and sea travelers until at the earliest, June 1, 2009.

According to their website, you'll be good next Memorial Day also w/only a driver's license and birth certificate.

Great club to get drunk at, there are MAD bitches there. It honestly looked like a badass music video when i went a couple years ago!!!

Oh and i was afraid to be there w/o my lil bro lol. I'm more of a whitey than Almostryan3. So i agree, stash your main cash. Then if they hassle you and find 20-30 bucks in your wallet, then they only take that.

You would need more than a few bucks if you get caught drunk in public or doing something stupid.
