Roy Beck is the main character in Gloria E. Anzaldúa’s 1968 Mexican folktale, The Story of Roy Beck. In the story, an ancient widower presents a stone to his son, who then has to find a way to make it stand upright on its own without any help from anyone else.
It is a difficult task as every time he picks up the stone, it falls over with him on top of it. Roy Beck soon realizes that he has to find strength within himself, and the only way he can do that is to let go of his very being and allow his father to help him. It is difficult for him to do, as he does not believe that his father’s help will be able to aid him in this feat. He eventually gives up everything and lets his father carry him in his arms as a baby.
Roy Beck did not start with the same ideals about immigration policy as he does now. He started off believing that there should be some reform to allow immigrants a legal means of entering this country, but now he believes that all immigration must be stopped, no matter what the cost. Mr. Beck believes that the only solution to our immigration problems is to reduce the number of immigrants in this country by 90%. He believes that this will allow “space and resources” for Americans.
