Although crossing back into the United States without a passport or WHTI compliant Drivers License (must denote citizenship, they are only currently offered by NY, WA and a couple of other states) means you are not in compliance with the new regulations as of now the only penalty is the possibility of a longer wait (at the border crossing in San Ysidro, CA you can expect to wait an additional 1-3 hours in the non WHTI compliant line while at Otay Mesa there would be no difference) however there is word that fines may soon be implemented for repeat offenders.

No. Everyone who crosses must have either a passport or a passport card. Mexicans crossing into San Diego must have a visa.

Do you need a passport for calica Mexico?

U.S. citizens do not need a passport to enter Mexico by land or sea. Mexican border officials do not ask for any identification from you. On your return home, the U.S. officials would like you to carry a current passport but they can't obligate you to do so. Every day hundreds of people cross from Tijuana to San Diego with only a driver's license ... some with nothing at all. The passport question is controversial and confusing. Because of that, a group of people at the San Diego-Tijuana border put together a FAQ on the subject, see related linkis.
