Since when do you need a passport to go to Juarez?

[CedarDave]

You don’t need one to go there. You need one to GET BACK!

Since last year you need a passport to return from either Mexico or Canada.

You don't. But you'll need it to get back.

June, 2009. A passport card or an "enhanced drivers license" (as issued by a few states and indicating citizenship) will also do. These aren't necessary to enter Mexico, as far as I know, but they are necessary to get back into the US.
