Give Us Your Jocks, Your Babies...

By Rebecca Winters

While hordes of native-born celebs are encouraging Americans to vote, some immigrants of stature are just earning the right. Canadian-born funnyman JIM CARREY says he was motivated to become a U.S. citizen by the upcoming election. Awww ... should we tell Carrey and the other newly minted Yanks that California is not in play?

PIERCE BROSNAN

Homeland: Ireland

His Americana: Foiled bad guys as Remington Steele; retires to the beach in After the Sunset

Motive: "I want to be able to vote for John Kerry." And we'll choose the next James Bond. Deal?

PAM ANDERSON

Homeland: Canada

Her Americana: Brought back the one-piece swimsuit on Baywatch and the birthday suit in a sex tape with Tommy Lee

Motive: To vote, she says. Frankly, we blame her ex-beau, ueberpatriot Kid Rock

MANNY RAMIREZ

Homeland: Dominican Republic

His Americana: The leftfielder's at bats give Red Sox fans reason to live

Motive: He says his parents urged it. He lives in Florida, so, unlike the rest, has swing-state clout
