Streamer Felix "xQc" is known for his bold takes on everything from gaming to world events. Fans tune in not just for gameplay but also for his unfiltered commentary on hot topics like masculinity, relationships, and gender roles. Even at the onset of his career, as an Overwatch professional, the streamer received suspensions for unfiltered comments directed at other players.
Now, Steven "Destiny" has built his online presence around sharp social commentary. Though he started in gaming, he's now recognized for diving into politics, philosophy, and controversial debates with voices from across the spectrum, drawing both praise and criticism.
On October 29, 2024, Destiny appeared on Piers Morgan's Election Special segment on his Uncensored broadcast. Some of the streamer's takes on foreign policy, especially immigration went viral online. xQc reacted to his comments on stream and claimed they were questionable:
"I like Destiny, but that is brain-dead. Asylum-seeking is a symptom of illegal immigration. It's a logical branch from one to the other."
Essentially, xQc believes that asylum-seeking is why illegal immigrants cross borders, whereas Destiny, on the other hand, claims the two are separate issues in the context of American border control.

The premise of Piers Morgan's latest edition of Uncensored revolved around the upcoming US elections, judging the two major candidates, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, from a policy perspective.
As foreign policy was discussed, Piers naturally posed a question regarding American border control to Destiny:
"Let me ask you about illegal immigration then Destiny, so we've seen an unbelievably large number of illegal immigrants come in during the Biden-Harris Administration, do you think this is right for America?"
Destiny responded by commenting on asylum-seeking and the Republican problem:
"Here are two facts, we do not have a problem right now with illegal immigration in the United States we have a problem with asylum-seeking. That's, number one... but number two, if this was such a huge problem why were Republicans so content to pull the plug on it when Donald Trump said I need to leave the border open for me to run on this as an election issue."
To sum it up, Destiny argued that the US faces an asylum-seeking issue, not illegal immigration, and criticized Republicans for leaving the border open as a political tool during Trump's campaign.
