Republicans weigh government shutdown to stop Obama on immigration
In contrast, last time the GOP shut down the government:

I'm sure that this time, a government shutdown will be positive for the GOPs image. Flight attendants, PR appointees and HS students will support this and it will give the GOP an even bigger majority in 2016. Using the shutdown option will also bring in support from Independents. They seem to be in favor of such things.
The last government shutdown didn't seem to do much damage to the GOP. I mean, who swept the midterms?
