My guess I'd Solenopsis molesta but I don't know what ants are in Mexico and they probably aren't fertile

I think those are either S. aurea or S. amblychila.  I agree that they're not fertile, though. The female alates (queens with wings) need to fly and mate before they can start a new colony.

Negative fertilization, bad for me.
