In the case of the men that I interviewed, 5 had crossed the border more than once; 4 of these, were also the oldest ones: Ciro, Antonio, Sixto, and Willi.

Gaxiola (1991) reviewed a number of studies conducted both in the United States and in Mexico on the volume of the undocumented population between 1970 and 1980, and reported that estimates varied between 3 and 13 millions of undocumented workers in general, with varying proportions of Mexicans. Her review points to the fact that data on the presence of undocumented workers are in many cases unreliable since they often respond to the political aims of those who provide them. A study conducted by Lesko and Associates in 1975 that had been requested by Chapman, then INS commissioner, estimated for example that the number of illegal Mexican workers in the United States was 5,204,000.

Conversation analysts have pointed to the fact that narratives are told by speakers to audiences and that narrators introduce or close their stories following the constraints imposed by other interactants (Jefferson 1978; Polanyi 1985) through clear displays of relevance and adequacy of their content to the rest of the interaction. They have shown how these texts develop according to the presence or absence of audience reactions (Goodwin 1986; Duranti 1986; Polanyi 1985) and are built based on evaluation of audience expectations (Sacks 1992a, b).
