Travel Tips
no you just need your drivers liscense.

Others
No, just make sure you have ID on you, because they may check it at the border when you are coming back home.
you don't need a visa if you're staying for a relatively short amount of time.

however, after december 31, everyone entering the US will be required to have a passport when travelling by air or sea.
wikipedia
It all depends on your country of birth, and if you still a citizen of your country of birth. To determine if you need a visa, call a Mexican Consulate in the US city where you live, or call the Mexican Embassy in Washington.

A permanent resident of the US is just that, a legal resident of the US, and that is good when you need to reenter the US. Now, if you are walking across the border to vacation in Mexico you might just need your driver license and your US card, they will give you a permit to stay within 25 miles of the border.

But if you are traveling by plane, check with the airline directly about your visa requirements. Most countries do not need visas in Mexico, but they are some that do.

Your best bet is to go to the airline with your original passport and US card to ask, personally.

No, the experts are correct. But to you and everyone reading this...jut so you cannot say no one told you...as of 1/1/07, All US and CAN tourists into MX will need a passport/visa, no ifs ands or buts! True, check the State Dept. website. Best to always have one with you and it lasts 10 years I believe!
