Its a good idea to have a passport, regardless, now it might mean a bit of hassle for people who live right on the border as they'll have to carry around a passport, but they can fit in a pocket rather easily, and they'll adjust.

A family of four will shell out $320. They won't do this just to cross the border for a day. Therefore, the millions of yearly trips like this that occur now, will be sharply curtailed at a cost of billions to both countries. This will hurt border communities immensely. It's NOT a small burden.
