It encompasses Spain, Puerto Rico and The Philippines, et al. So does this mean I can claim Hispanic as my race (due to Philippine heritage, including direct Spanish blood)?

Hispanohablantes, which means "Spanish speaker." It encompasses Spain, Puerto Rico and The Philippines, et al. While there are lots of Filipinos with Spanish names, there are precious few who actually speak Spanish, at least since the days of Admiral Dewey. In the 1950 census about 6% of the population spoke Spanish, and the number is undoubtedly smaller today.

And its total bull.
Call a Spaniard a “hispanic” and you had best be ready to fight or run.
A Hispanic is a descendant of the Spanish conquistadors and the local indians.
Of course the locals in South and Central America speak Spanish.
They were conquered by them.

Labels like that mean less than nothing to me.All I want to know about an individual...regardless of race,country of origin,gender,native tongue,age.....is “are you here legally?” If the answer is yes,the discussion ends.If it's no I get on my phone and tell the INS agent on the other end....”come get this Federal criminal....toute suite!”

I think the English word “hispanic” refers to somebody whose ancestors are from the Iberian peninsula, including both Spain and Portugal.
I believe the origins of the word can be traced back to the Roman empire.

The words Hispanic and Latino were chosen by the left as a way of putting people into artificial groups so as to increase their political power. They got people from very different backgrounds and cultures to feel that they all are equally victims.

As a 40-year resident of North Texas, Ive become accustomed to the following definition of the term Hispanic. Its an American, not English, word derived from the Spanish word Hispanohablantes, which means "Spanish speaker." It encompasses Spain Which means a person can be Hispanic and European. Which contradicts today's victim/oppressor classification scheme and the little boxes that come with it.

Latino is simply shorthand for those persons from South and Central America where Romance derived languages, paticularly Spanish, Portuguese, are spoken. Citizens might be referred to as Latino but the term hardly implies citizenship.
An immigrant is one who immigrates with the intent of permanent residence, no legal status involved.
Hispanic comes from Hispania, i.e., Spain, therefore Spanish speaking or origin.
Alien, legal or not, foreign.
We know what these terms mean and your post only adds your confusion to the mix.

You’re incorrect on your roots and origins of Hispanic. Hispania was the Latin name for all of the Iberian peninsula, and Hispanic was the term for all the residents therein, and their descendants. It does not, nor has it ever been used to denote the speakers of any language, not even coincidently those who happen to speak Spanish.
