Hi everyone
J D Vance has referred a Christian concept called Ordo Amoris (order of love) to justify crackdown on immigration.

Vice President JD Vance recently cited medieval Catholic theology in justifying the immigration crackdown under President Donald Trump.
"Just google ‘ordo amoris,’” he posted Jan. 30 on the social media platform X.
He posted this in reply to criticism over statements he made in a Fox News interview: “You love your family, and then you love your neighbor, and then you love your community, and then you love your fellow citizens in your own country. And then after that, you can focus and prioritize the rest of the world.” He claimed that the “far left” has inverted that.
What is ‘ordo amoris’?
It's been translated as “order of love” or “order of charity.” It's a concept discussed by St. Augustine, an ancient theologian, who said everyone and everything should be loved in its own proper way.

What do you think?

He obviously missed the part about the parable of the good Samaritan, among others.

35For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36and one’s foes will be members of one’s own household."

Matthew 22:36-40
New International Version
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
