But do they let those other cultures in?

AFAICT, the problem is that they rather too blithely let those other
cultures in. A simple comparison of relative birthrates indicates that
in a century or too there won't be any Englishmen left.

Whether there are any Englishmen _currently_ is a political discussion
not to be lightly entered into...
