The Saxons and other Germanic tribes were able to settle in Britain primarily because:
The Roman army had been pulled back to defend Rome.
During the decline of the Roman Empire, the Roman legions were gradually withdrawn from various outlying regions, including Britain, to defend the core territories of the empire. This created a power vacuum, and Germanic tribes, including the Saxons, seized the opportunity to migrate to and settle in Britain. The weakened Roman influence allowed for the Anglo-Saxon migration and the establishment of new kingdoms in what is now England.
