The Conservative Home Secretary and Labour's Shadow Home Secretary clashed over immigration numbers, the Rwanda scheme and the Bibby Stockholm barge.
Mr Cleverly claimed that Labour would open the door to 100,000 more migrants by working with the EU - at which Ms Cooper accused him of talking "garbage".
Ms Cooper also confirmed that Labour would not get rid of the Bibby Stockholm barge on day one, despite it being very expensive.
She told Nick that Labour would continue to work with third countries on migrant issues, despite planning to axe the Rwanda plan to fund a new border command.
