My boyfriend is going to Mexico on May 26 and staying for a week. He is only going to the border city of San Luis R.C. but he wants to know if it is necessary for him to get a passport to return back to the US. I know eventually he's going to need it but for this trip, will he be required to have one? Thanks!He's a citizen so he doesn't have/need a green card.

Yes. Since your boyfriend is going to Mexico, it would be best if he takes his U.S. pass port to be on the safe side.

YES ALL US citizens need passports to get back into their own country. But only because Bush is paranoid about terrorists.
