Some of the "Hispanics" in the United States may be FROM Latin America (which would include Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean). Latin America traditionally is a geographical designation, not a group of people who are "Latin" (Latino) and happen to be living in America. "Hispanic" refers to Spanish-speaking peoples, and "Latino" refers to people of Latin American origin. Not all Latinos are Spanish-speaking. Also, the word Hispanic is considered to be offensive in some areas because of the way the government uses it.

no. Latin america is anything below the US where the native language is Spanish. Brazil might also be considered part of latin america.

First of all there is no such thing as HISPANIC...that was a made up word by the GOVERNMENT!!! 2nd if one believes they are culturally of Latin American decent then they are. 3rd if we are thinking border wise...take me for example, I was born here but my parents are from Mexico...I have dual citizenship so I can and will vote for both sides of the border. Socially everyone thinks BORDERS stop everyone but it is CULTURE that unites us all!

What are you talking about ? Are you talking about all the Americans living in Latin America ? No one seems to be moaning and groaning about how they're taking over and such.
