I doubt magical Britain lets everyone in—for one thing, it has approximately the same ethnic composition as Muggle Britain
This should be false(r) in HPMOR, given the number of cameos from readers all around the planet. I worried that I was making Hogwarts seem unrealistically multiethnic, and then decided, hey, wizards have had Apparition and portkeys for centuries, it’s a wonder they even still have national cultures.
HPMOR is more ethnic (and gender) balanced than canon, and IMO does seem to have a realistic ethnic composition given teleportation (as you mentioned) and border controls. But its nowhere near 50% Asian as one might expect if there were no borders.
BTW I hope I don’t sound too critical. I have hugely enjoyed the rest of HPMOR and I just think that comparing real-world politics to Voldemort’s indifference is unnecessary mindkilling.
