That's actually surprising. During my ONE trip to Mexico I found it was easier to come back to the U.S. than it was to get into Mexico.
I went with a big group and we didn't get back to the border until maybe 11 PM. Maybe the Border Guy was tired or something, but he honestly didn't even look at our passports/birth certs.
When I was going through (we had to go through on foot because our U.S. transportation was waiting on the other side) the Agent didn't not even glance at my birth certificate all he asked in a tired voice was "did you bring anything?" I said no and that was it.
