I think that has already happened. I'm pretty sure it is a Federal offense to leave the country without a Passport, and I believe you also have to have authorization to leave (an Exit Visa???). Don't other countries require that you have a visa (they grant) to enter their country? If you just walk across the border into Mexico, you are an Illegal Alien in Mexico and they will arrest you!
