What do people with "green cards" need to do about the new passport law?

Permanent Residents don't get passports from the US. Do they need to get any more documentation to be able to travel back into the US after this new passport law, or will just showing your green card at the border do? How can a PR travel to another country in europe and southamerica if he doesn't have a passport from any country just a "green card?"

Answer:
I have to admit that I am not 100% absolutely positively positive about this, but I'm fairly sure that you cannot travel to another country on just a green card.

It does not prove citizenship, only residency. And, as I understand it, you need to prove citizenship when traveling. Your green card is used to get back in the US (instead of a visa) but that is its only purpose.

You would have needed a passport to get into the US legally at some point. As a permanent resident alien you should keep your passport current at all times.
you would have an issued passport from your own country, then you pay the INS for a permission to travel document and then you can travel out side the USA on YOUR passport and make flipping sure that you do NOT lose the form saying that the INS allow you to travel and return plus your green card of course.

You should be good to go then.

This permanent resident should have a passport from the country where he-she come from.This person can't travel over seas witout a passport.Any one knows that,eventually.
They have to go their own counties embassy to get a pass port.
Only US citizens can get US passports, the Permanent Resident aliens, their card is their passport. And its up to the receiving country to either let you in or not.
The only change is that, in addition to your green card, you will need to show the valid passport from original home country. If you cannot obtain your country's passport, you should obtain a Refugee Travel Document from the U.S. government and use that instead).
I'm a green card holder but I can travel anywhere because I have my Japanese passport. All foreigners who live in the US must have their passport to enter the US for the first time. And they can't stay in the US if they don't have their passport.

If their passport gets expired soon, they need to renew it at their country's Embassy or Consulate in the US. So they don't need to go back their country to renew their passport.

And if they have their green card, they can use it when entering the US but they can't use it to travel outside the US.

The green card holders are not US citizens. So they can't have an American passport.
