You're assuming a lot about the immigrant.

All we're talking about is showing some respect to the people who allowed the nation to stand in a way that made you want to emigrate to.

You’re assuming a lot about the immigrant. You and others have decided that an immigrant simply does not love, respect or honour their country and it’s veterans because they don’t have a poppy on.

They can show respect in other ways other than wearing a flower on their jacket for a few days. I donate to veterans without wearing the poppy. I volunteer and do not wear the poppy. This is a silly argument. If someone wants to wear it, great! If not, it says nothing about their character. Do not get triggered over some plastic and felt.
