Is the law that requires American's have "proof of citizenship" before entering Mexico....?

WTF are you asking? The law allowing a birth certificate and a government issued picture ID is going away the end of this year for Land or Sea travel. It is gone for Air travel from Canada and Mexico and the Carib.

Well, last year we were in California and walked across the border to Mexico. You didn't have to do anything to get into Mexico at all, but when you came back to the US side, you had to show your drivers license and declare anything you had purchased. It took about 30 minutes to get through the line to get back into the US. Was easy for us...

As we have to have a passport to get back into the country it's rather irrelevant. Personally, unless you are there for business, I'd much rather be in Aruba.

First of all....WHAT? To answer your first question, it depends on where in Mexico.

Then we should follow Mexico's example and shove your weapon right up your rectum.

A birth certificate is proof of were you were born, but you can change Citizenship by moving to a new country and becoming a Citizen there: so the only true proof is an up to date pass port. As for the Mexican Mafia what does that have to do with any thing about birth rights and citizenship?

At the moment , passports are not required for US citizens to enter Mexico or Canada.
Proof of citizenship at entry to Mexico allows the US citizen to re- enter the US.
Think it ( one T) is going to change for both borders.
Passports / visas are required for other overseas visitors as US citizens are required to have.
No plans on visiting Mexico since most of it will be here soon.
