Hmmmm...ok, why not?. America is a continent, that we're taught in school was discovered in 1492 by Europe (and of course, the vikings predated that discovery). The continent was then named in honor of Americo Vespucio (don't know how you call him in English), and it's used to mean all the continent, from Canada to Tierra del Fuego. Since the continent is big and very diverse, it can be subdivided in subcontinents, you may say North and South America, here we say North (USA, Canada Mexico), Central America (from Guatemala till Panama, plus the Caribbean) and South America (Colombia down to Argentina). These are only subcontients, the bigger continent is still America, as you're taught in school. Thus, anyone born in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, El Salvador or Haiti is as American as anyone born in the US
