Canadian and Mexican citizens and Bermudan residents are not required to have a passport when entering the US.

The exemption for travel to and from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Central and South America will end on December 31, 2005, affecting US citizens and Bermudans. On December 31, 2006, the exemption that allows passport-free travel (by air or sea) to or from Mexico and Canada will end. By December 31, 2007, a passport will be required for all air, sea and land border crossings into the US.

Just a note: after 9/11 we didn't have to have a passport to travel in and out of Canada, but we did have to have our birth certificate to get back across the border.
