Mel Gibson was born in America but was from Australia... he calls himself Australian doesn't he?

Gibson was born in Peekskill, NY.

The list includes others (Einstein, for example) who were foreign-born, but later became American citizens.

Ugh, Henry Ford. Anti-Semite supreme. Elvis Presley was influential, sure, but heroic? If you have to include an athlete/entertainer, make it Muhammed Ali. At least he stood for something. I wish they'd fit Harriet Tubman and a sufragette in there, but whatever. Clearly, not much perspective went into this.
