op Republicans say two things are clear: Last year’s government shutdown hurt the party. And Republicans must not let the president’s pending immigration action bait them into a repeat.

But some rank-and-file GOP lawmakers from safe districts don’t see it that way. They say another shutdown must be an option if President Barack Obama keeps his promise to halt, by executive action, the threat of deportation for large numbers of immigrants living here illegally.

The disagreement may force Republican leaders to quell an insurrection just when they hope to capitalize on what they consider a presidential blunder.

Republican Rep. John Fleming of Louisiana said he’s tired of conservative pundits criticizing government shutdowns “rather than saying, ‘Hey, this could be a good way of holding the president’s feet to the fire.'”
