The Mexico-U.S. border is the most frequently crossed border in the world and the site of much tension and conflict. Rosie and BJ discuss open borders and if they could be a solution to the U.S.'s immigration policies.

The two co-hosts focus on the Mexico-U.S. border. As BJ points out, "If you're anywhere along the northern border, you can cross over, and half the time, no one's going to notice."

In this episode of Rosie & BJ Save the World, the two co-hosts discuss the controversial topic of self-euthanization.

After doing research into self-euthanization, also known as "death with dignity," Rosie found that the healthcare lobby has a financial incentive to keep people alive — insurance money.

Rosie explains, "They make more money from the ICU — from people living as vegetables and hooked up to machines. The longer you're in the hospital, and the longer you suffer, the more money the healthcare devils make!"
