BERLIN (Reuters) - Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who seeks to reduce the number of asylum seekers and stem support for the far-right, hopes to move closer towards a national consensus on a tougher migration policy at a meeting on Monday with the heads of Germany's 16 states.
In recent weeks, Scholz's government has agreed measures to make it easier to deport migrants and to make the country a less attractive destination in the first place, in stark contrast to Berlin's perceived open-door policy under former Chancellor Angela Merkel.
