Starting next year you will. They started with airline travel first. But all vehicles crossing the border will have to carry a passport.

I'll let you in on a little secret though. My ex-father in law is an DHS/immigration officer at the Columbus, NM Port of entry and he told my ex-wife when she inquired about getting a passport that they can't deny you entry back into the US if you don't have a passport as long as you can prove you are a US citizen with a drivers license, SS card, birth certificate, etc. They can detain you for secondary inspection but you won't be denied entry as long as you have documentation that you are a US citizen. My ex FIL got this info from a meeting they had with Department of Homeland Security brass a few weeks ago.
