And yes, they would be blamed by the Media no matter what.
You have House and Senate Republican leadership at loggerheads over tactics to use on passing the DHS funding bill. Some Centrist House Republicans are already conceding that their party - not the Democrats - will be blamed for any DHS shutdown.
In interviews with The Hill, centrist Republicans are conceding that their party — not the Democrats — will be blamed if the critical agency shuts down at the end of the month.
If that were to happen, it would echo the Ted Cruz-led government shutdown of 2013 and the Newt Gingrich-led shutdowns of the 1990s, all of which turned public opinion against the GOP.
House and Senate Republicans are openly divided over a strategy to fund DHS, a fissure that has produced a round of intraparty fingerpointing at a time when GOP leaders are trying to prove they can govern.
The shutdown threat also comes during a period of heightened security concerns. Recent weeks have been dominated by headlines about killings and terrorist attacks by Islamic State extremists, including one Friday at an Iraqi base where U.S. Marines were training.
Meanwhile, Democrats are presenting a united front, calling for a so-called “clean” DHS funding bill free of any controversial GOP riders targeting President Obama’s executive immigration actions.
“More likely Republicans will be blamed. We control the House and the Senate,” former Homeland Security Chairman Peter King (R-N.Y.) told The Hill on Friday. Americans “know that we caused the last government shutdown, so we have the lasting specter of Ted Cruz hanging over us,” he added.

The fact that he would even consider shutting down the DHS proves one thing.
It's party first then country with the GOP scum.
Also he is not the leader of this country and looks like a dick along with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
So I don't care what you think about this President.
He is the leader of this country and not them
points a gun to the hostages head and says, if you don't give me what I want, I'll blow his head off, and it will be your fault. In this case the founding bill is the hostages head, and the amendment is the gun. We went through this with the debt ceiling also. And, they call this leadership. 
There is absolutely no way you will convince anyone otherwise. It is Democrats that refuse to vote for the bill that funds it (minus 0bama's executive amnesty). They are literally putting the country in danger in order to give themselves voters, which they desperately need.
And sorry you don't like the Constitution and wish 0bama was your dictator, but they are CO-EQUAL branches of government!

All they understand is Republicans control both the Senate and House. A few days of long lines at airport TSA, immigration/custom control will stop this nonsense in its tracks and result in Congress passing a clean DHS funding bill.
