Watch: 'Drag Race' Diversity Includes DACA with Two Current Queens

Drag is for everyone, and that's more apparent than ever on the current season of "RuPaul's Drag Race," with two of the queens living and working in the U.S. under DACA.

Rolling Stone reported that "Xunami Muse and Geneva Karr are making history on Season 16" of the globally popular reality franchise.

"The two queens – Muse, who's Panamanian, and Karr, who's Mexican – are the first two queens to compete on the show while living with DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals," Rolling Stone explained.

The magazine alerted readers to a short (just over two minutes) video featuring the two contestants talking about being drag artists and DACA beneficiaries.

"Hours before Episode 4 of 'Drag Race' air[ed] on MTV" on Jan. 26, "Rolling Stone exclusively share[d] a sneak peek of Muse and Karr opening up on the show about their legal status, which they hope shines a light on the realities of more than half a million DREAMers in the U.S.," the magazine detailed.

DACA, an Obama era program, protects non-citizens who have grown up in the United States, having been brought into the country as children. The program is intended to prevent heartbreaking situations in which ordinary people who might not even know they are not citizens could otherwise be sent to countries where they don't know anyone, have no knowledge of local customs and laws, and might not even speak the language.

The video shows the two queens getting their makeup on and chatting – and realizing that they are both DREAMers.

Muse reflected in the video that the "reality" of what people living in the U.S. thanks to DACA go through is "overlooked," particularly since the protections offered by DACA could be abolished by a hostile president.

"Growing up there was this pressure of being a model citizen, and well guess what?" Muse said. "We are these model citizens. All I want to do is spread my joy and do my drag and make people laugh and smile."

To Rolling Stone, Muse noted, "Unfortunately, there are certain obstacles that we face, sometimes in silence."

But she's looking to break that silence and, perhaps, help spark change.

"By speaking out, the audience will get to see another side of what we go through, and maybe it'll push politicians to come up with a solution because there still isn't a clear path to citizenship for us," Muse said.

Karr spoke to the "struggles we have gone through since childhood, and the struggles we continue to go through every two years to re-apply and hope we get approved," and declared: "We represent the American dream, we are proof that hard work pays off. It really warms my heart to know DACA recipients are feeling represented and seen on this new season of 'Drag Race.'"

"Especially during an election year, the future of DACA is in limbo," Rolling Stone noted. "Over the last several years, activists and President Joe Biden have called on Congress to pass permanent protections for recipients of this status, but just in September, a Texas judge ruled that the Obama-era protection was illegal."

The site also said that "Along with their DACA status, both queens put their identity on the forefront of their drag," with Karr appearing on "the runway in traditional folcórico garb."

"I remember when we first came to the U.S., my mother told me, 'Never forget your roots, where we come from, our traditions, and everything that makes us who we are,'" Karr recounted. "I've always kept that close to my heart and anytime I get the opportunity to showcase how beautiful my heritage and culture is, I take the chance!"

Meanwhile, "Muse also gets to showcase her identity as an Afro-indigenous queer Panamanian," the magazine added. "Aside from Love & Hip-Hop's 'Amara La Negra,' Muse says that the Afro-Latine experience seldom gets showcased on television."

Said Muse: "I'm more of a reminder that we're not rare. They're just not looking at us, but we're right there."
