RISHI Sunak today vowed to fly illegal migrants out of Britain and into Rwanda in an exclusive interview with Piers Morgan.
Speaking to the firebrand presenter from his No10 flat, the PM promised a massive crackdown on small boats.
The full interview will air tonight at 8pm on TalkTv.
Mr Sunak said: "If you come here illegally - if you're an illegal migrant here - then you will not be able to stay here.
"In fact, we will be able to detain you. And then we will hear your claim in a matter of days or weeks, not months or years.

"And we will have the ability in the vast majority of cases to send you to an alternative safe country, be that where you've come from if it's safe, or indeed Rwanda."
On his 100th day in office, this morning the PM promised his new law to stop small boat crossings will be unveiled in weeks.
He pledged that illegal migrants will be detained and deported instead of put up in 4-star hotels.
Taxpayers are being stung for £6.8million a day — or £2.4billion a year — to keep 35,000 people awaiting deportation in UK hotels.
One Home Office-hired hotel is four-star Great Hallingbury Manor in Essex where more than 50 men are living on full board, with some complaining about the food.
And he said his agenda should not be judged on results now but before next year’s expected election.
"The system I want to introduce is one whereby if you come here illegally, you should be swiftly detained," Mr Sunak told Piers.
"And then in a matter of days and weeks we will hear your claim, and then we will remove you somewhere else.
"If we do that, that's how we'll break the cycle."

Ahead of tonight's showdown, Piers told The Sun:
Ahead of the showdown, Piers told The Sun: "This is my first ever sit-down TV interview at No10 with a Conservative Prime Minister.
"Boris Johnson kept promising one but ended up running into a fridge to avoid me. So, I applaud Rishi Sunak for keeping his word, and I’m looking forward to finding out who the real Rishi is, and how he intends rescuing Britain from our current dire situation on many fronts.
"It will be unmissable television."
