Christians: what do you think about Sessions using the biblical quote from the Apostle Paul?

My question has nothing to do with whether you agree with what Trump is doing regarding immigration or not, I’m only interested to know if the quote bothered you.

Sessions said, “I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13 to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained them for the purpose of order,”

Are you ok with him using that quote that way? God ordained the laws of the United States of America? Does that go for all laws? Doesn’t he see how that quote can be used against the religious right in the future?

Does it feel manipulative to you? Or, does it make perfect sense to you what he is saying? I realize that since I come from a different POV it might feel very different to me than to others.

PLEASE nobody jump all over those who answer here, I am very interested in how Christians interpret this sort of thing.
