As asked, no, not possible.  If you're asking will hispanics ever make up a majority of white folk, well no, that isn't going to happen either.  At least not anytime in the next 100 years.

I'm asking if Latinos will become a majority (as in 50.01% or more) of the U.S. population at anytime in the future.
Not likely.  Here the US Census predicted in 2008 that Hispanics will triple by 2050 and still only be at 30% of the population.  Non-Hispanic whites will still make up 46%.  Obviously these numbers are guesses and are likely to not be 100% accurate, but are still probably pretty good guesses.

Well, duh. The term isn't used in Latin America full stop. Smiley
It's not used in much of this part of America (as in the non-Latin third, not as in the USofA) either.  That's why most of us have been saying "hispanic" over and over.  I know it's a regional thing, but to my ear, "latino" is to hispanic, what "colored" is to black, or "oriental" is to asian.
