Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the heads of Germany's 16 states will debate tighter border controls and new deportation rules on Wednesday as they hold crunch talks to address soaring migration.
In the first four months of 2023, some 101,981 asylum applications were filed in Germany — an increase of 78 percent compared to the same period in 2022.
Almost 218,000 applications were filed in Germany last year — the highest number since 2015-16, with the largest number of newcomers hailing from war-torn Syria and Afghanistan, followed by Turkey and Iraq.
In addition, more than a million people arrived from Ukraine.
