Because if it's the latter, it's really just a factual statement:

“[Canadians who don't wear poppies] … you love our way of life, you love our milk and honey, at least you can pay a couple bucks for a poppy or something like that,” Cherry said. “These guys paid for your way of life that you enjoy in Canada, these guys paid the biggest price.”
It was “you people come here”, which sounds a lot like referring to people that come here, aka immigrants. Why conveniently leave out that part?
