That's because the Copa América (Spanish / Portuguese: "America Cup") is the main international football competition in America, and is run by CONMEBOL, the South American football confederation. It is the oldest international tournament in the world starting in 1916. It is important to note that usually two or three CONCACAF teams get an invitation to participate. Mexico has been a regular since they were invited for the first time in 1993. The participating nations are Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. Two invited teams from other confederations complete the 12-team field.
US and Mexico are not CONMEBOL members, they are CONCACAF members but both were invited to the 2008 Copa America.
US just won the Gold Cup after winning the final match against Mexico. The CONCACAF Gold Cup is the main football competition of the men's national football teams governed by the CONCACAF. CONCACAF (the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football) is the continent-wide governing body for football in North America, Central America and the Caribbean. Three South American entities, the independent nations of Guyana and Suriname, and the French department of French Guiana, are also members.

Hugo Chavez insisted it not be included, and since he's the leader of the host nation... (JUST KIDDING!)
If we managed to win Copa America, he'd probably be like Hitler with Jesse Owens...
