which one is enedina?

I'm especially creeped out by:
[Tijuana] doctors comfort a traumatised housewife knocked over by a supermarket trolley that had rolled down a hill, its contents not groceries but a body. They patch up police besieged by a gang in their own police station. They collect the human heads arranged in pyramids by the roadside.

I'm thinking of all the seniors who cross over into Tijuana every day to get affordable meds. I'm thinking of all the Central and South Americans who cross over into California from there every day too. Maybe I'm just extra creeped-out by the fantastic rise in human trafficking the world over and the accompanying fear of how much further in the opposite direction from rule-of-law this whole world, not just the United States, has gone over the last decade, but I'm sitting here feeling it inching closer to me by the day.

And, who the hell sez women make more compassionate leaders?
