The Prime Minister said he did not accept the remarks made during Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday were "intemperate".
He said he was simply commenting on Jeremy Corbyn's trip to the Calais refugee camps at the weekend and the Labour leader's assertion Britain should let the 3,000 migrants there in.
Mr Cameron told Sky News: "I was very clear what I meant yesterday, which was to say that Labour have an open-door policy.
"They don't think there's any limit on the number of people we should let in. I don't think that's the right approach.
"Those people in France should claim asylum in France ... France is a safe country so we shouldn't be supporting the idea that France is a jumping off point for coming to Britain."
He added: "I was making a very clear point that what Jeremy Corbyn was doing was meeting with migrants and telling them that they could come to Britain and I don't think that is the right approach to politics.
"It's not the right approach to the issue either."
During his weekly Commons exchange with Mr Corbyn, Mr Cameron had said: "Look at the record of the last week. They (Labour) met with the unions and they gave them flying pickets.
"They met with the Argentinians, they gave them the Falkland Islands.
