Latinos are people from Latin America that speak either spanish,portuguese or french. The two largest Latino population states I think are Texas and California because of Mexicans but Florida has a high population too because of the Cubans.
The majority of Latinos in the United States were born in the United States. However, immigration from Latin American countries also contributes to the Latino population, with Mexico being the largest country of origin for Latino immigrants.

Yes, people from Spain are considered Latinos because they are of Latin European descent. However, the term "Latino" in the United States typically refers to people of Latin American descent.
This answer applies to the United States only. As of 2012, the largest minority group is currently those who identify as Hispanic/Latinos, which overtook Blacks as the largest minority group sometime between the 2000 and 2010 census. Due to some slightly strange methodology, the US Census does not count "Hispanic or Latino" as a separate racial category, but an ethnicity; it allows one to identify as "Hispanic or Latino" AFTER picking one of the racial choices - thus, the Census provides data on "White, Hispanic or Latino", "Black, Hispanic or Latino", "Asian, Hispanic or Latino" as categories. Most demographers are more exacting in their breakdown of racial/ethnic categories. In addition, depending on variations in immigration and intermarriage, Caucasian whites are expected to drop below 50% of the population sometime before 2040, so the United States will no longer have a "majority" race.
