Travelling to the US with birth certificate?

I'm a canadian citizen and I know that back in the good ole days you can travel to the US with just your birth certificate. Is this still applicable now (after 9/11)? Has anyone had experience with this recently?

I gotta cross the border this weekend for a family get together and my passport just expired. :(

Take photo ID, your birth certif AND your expired passport with you and you won't have any problems as long as you were born a CDN citizen.

Yup, with all of this, you should be fine. You should only need your BC + DL or expired passport.

I have crossed three times in the last two months at Lewiston and at Ft. Erie. I have taken Birth Certificate and Drivers License, but only been asked for photo Drivers License.
There are two types of people in the world,
those who search for hidden messages, and those who don't.
