"God Bless America" is an American patriotic song written by Irving Berlin in 1918 and revised by him in 1938. Berlin became embarrassed by the amount of money he was making from such a patriotic song. He established the God Bless America Fund in 1940 to redistribute the royalties for this and 17 other songs to the Boy Scouts of America, the Girl Scouts of the USA and the Camp Fire Girls (now Camp Fire USA).The first trustees were Gene Tunney (world heavyweight boxing champion who defeated Jack Dempsey twice), Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. (politician, general, Medal of Honor winner) and Herbert B. Swope (editor, journalist, Pulitzer Prize winner).The BSA used the funds to establish Less Chance Scouting to promote Scouting for inner-city youth, blacks, American Indians and immigrants.Rowan, Edward L.

The Song God Bless America was written by Irving Berlin and was "shelved" for 20 years. Kate Jackson asked Berlin for a song to sing and he gave it to her with the understanding he did not want money for the song. God helped him write it. He asked that the proceeds of the song go to the Boy Scouts of America.
God Bless America is referring to the United States of America in specific. If you'd like to bless the Mexicans, say God Bless Mexico :)
