2/23    Do I need my passport on me to drive from San Diego
        to Tijuana and back?
        \_ No, but you are supposed to carry your Driver's license and
           some other official proof of your identity, like your voter
           registration card. Why not bring your passport? Also, make sure
           that you have Mexican car insurance.
           \_ ACORN!!@#!@#!@!!@#!@!1!1!one
           \_ I thought the rules for that changed a while back, so that you
              always need your passport when entering the country?
              \_ It looks like you are right.
              \_ So what happens if you just don't have it?  Do you have to
                 go through some giant hassle and visit some sort of embassy?
                 \_ I am guessing if you don't look Latino and you don't get
                    into any trouble with the law in Mexico, that nothing
                    happens to you. I have never been asked to show any ID
                    travelling across the US border by land and I have
                    crossed it at least 20 times. If you get arrested in
                    Mexico and you don't have ID, this could really suck
                    for you though. I am not sure what ICE would do to you,
                    probably detain you until you could prove citizenship.
        \_ obGoogle. Rules change June 1:

7/23    So tom, how does it feel to be rich?  You're in the top 10% you know.
        http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121659695380368965.html
        \_ Where are the numbers for all the other taxes we pay, like
           payroll, sales, etc? Oh yeah, just ignore all the facts that
           don't advance your pro-inherited wealth ideology.
        \_ So, how does it feel to be an anonymous coward?  -tom
