7. You don't HAVE to have a passport to go across the border

I see people do it all the time, they bring their IDs and birth certificate just like they did in the old days, the officer issues them the same terse warning that they always do about having a passport to cross and then let them go, worst case they send them for secondary followup. I believe by law if you're a US citizen you cannot be denied access into the country, they can just make life difficult for you if they want to. But still, quite a few people down here still do it the pre-9/11 way. The border passport card is a cheaper alternative. Or they can always have someone else go get it for them.
