This article reviews the relationship between humanitarianism  and migratory control in international migration policies in Argentina. We  analyze the processes of ambivalent categorization of migrant subjects as  victims and/or threats, through three humanitarian categories that appear  in the regulation of international migrations: refugees, migrants undergoing  medical treatment, and labor migrants. The methodology employed is  qualitative and analyzes: statements of international organizations; national  regulatory frameworks related to migration, refuge, and the transplantation  of organs and tissues; institutional discourses; laws; official reports; and  public commentaries by government officials.
