last comment"US citizens may cross Canadian and Mexican borders using government-issued id like a driver's license and proof of citizenship like an embossed birth certificate until June 1, 2009."

You now need a passport to reenter the U.S. from any foreign country.
"CURRENTLY:
U.S. citizens need to present either (a) a passport, passport card (scheduled to be in full production beginning in July 2008), or WHTI-compliant document; or (b) a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, along with proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate."

Shadowcat should know what the F, he is talking about on this issue . . . but, my strong guess is he doesn't. :) It's only if you're traveling by "air" that you need a passport. Reading your question it sounds like you're driving and NOT flying.
Some states are also going to try out "enhanced" driver's licenses that can be used instead of passports, but there will be extra fees to get them. It's better, IMO, to just bite the bullet, get in line, and get a passport...it's really not that hard to do.
oh alright, thanks.
