Sir Keir said he wants to reopen Britain’s Brexit deal with the European Union.
But Mr Sunak hit back by saying a new deal would lead to “free movement by the back door”.
“All the things he’s talking about involve accepting more migrants, free movement by the back door,” the Prime Minister said. “That is the choice for you at this election.”

Sir Keir denied this claim, saying: "We are not going back into the EU, we're not rejoining the Single Market or customs union, and we're not accepting freedom of movement," he said.
"I'm not a defeatist like the Prime Minister."
To applause, he added: "I know we can get a better deal than the botched deal that we've got and I'm going to go out and fight for it.
"We're not going to have freedom of movement come back, not going to back to the EU, but going to fight for get a better deal so you can trade more easily, so our economy can succeed, because I believe in our country."
Mr Sunak said he had negotiated for 18 months and that Sir Keir was saying he could "magic some good thing for us" with nothing expected in return from the EU.
Sir Keir Starmer added: “I did vote to remain, I campaigned to remain, but we left, we’ve left the EU. We’re not going back to the EU.

“But I do not accept that we can’t get a better deal than the one that we’ve got, because too many businesses are in the position you’re in, which is, you know, you put yourself into your business, you put your money into your business, you take huge risks for your business.
“Part of the problem we have with this Prime Minister is that his lived world is millions of miles away from the lived worlds of individuals across the country, the businesses and the families that they’re trying to support. There’s a massive gap. That is a problem.”
