It seeks to describe and analyze the different expressive and argumentative uses of these resources valued for their usefulness to focus attention on certain attributes or features of the object of knowledge that is being constructed, granting familiarity and proximity. However, these are subterfuges that often contribute to crystallize stereotyped, stigmatizing images and reduce the critical potential of investigations. Through its use, a potential risk of analytical simplification and transfer of meanings associated with ideological biases is generated. To develop the work, a corpus made up of press articles, reports and academic papers, referring to Latin American interstate borders, is systematized, where the focus is on the use given to three words: mules, coyotes, ants. El objetivo es problematizar analogías y metáforas utilizadas para hacer referencia a artefactos, fenómenos, prácticas y sujetos vinculados a las fronteras interestatales latinoamericanas, en diferentes escalas temporales. Busca describir y analizar los diferentes usos expresivos y argumentativos de estos recursos valorados por su utilidad para concentrar la atención sobre ciertos atributos o rasgos del objeto de conocimiento que se está construyendo, lo que otorga familiaridad y proximidad. Sin embargo, se trata de artilugios que muchas veces colaboran en cristalizar imágenes estereotipadas, estigmatizantes y restan potencial crítico a las investigaciones. A través de su empleo se genera un potencial riesgo de simplificación analítica y transferencia de sentidos asociados a sesgos ideológicos. Para desarrollar el trabajo se sistematiza un corpus conformado por artículos de prensa, informes y publicaciones académicas, referidos a fronteras interestatales latinoamericanas, donde se centra la mirada en el uso dado a tres palabras: mulas, coyotes y hormigas.
