That's only one factor. By the end of the Crisis of the Third Century, a sizeable portion of the Roman Empire's military was made up of first or second generation Germanic speaking peoples, at least on the Danube and Rhine regions, which were THE hotbed for the West. These men served with distinction, and some even rose up to become Emperors or Magister Militum in their own right. One of the most competent Magister Militum was Stilicho, who carried the West's ass up until his assassination by Honorius. There are many, many factors that feature into the collapse of the WRE, simply stating migration is a vast oversimplification of a complex topic.
