oh that's right, the government shuts down!
you see, the president can FORCE a shutdown by simply refusing to sign ANYTHING that doesn't meet with his 100% approval!
The only thing stopping him... US!!! Obola MUST get the blame for the shutdown!!! Then and only then will he feel the pressure to relent.
and when Obama refuses to sign any bill with such a provision added... then what happens?

Correct!..o can veto any appropriations bill he wishes, and probably will. The only recourse is to override his veto..67 votes required...checkmate.

That only happens when there is a single omnibus spending bill, which outside of the regular order. In regular order each department has a different appropriation bill. With this an amendment to forbid spending for amnesty would only be in the appropriation bill for the Department of Homeland Security. If Obama were to veto this bill only this department would close down, the rest of the government would still be running. Even here Congress could split spending within the department into different bills, thus limiting the impact of a veto to the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
The reason that we had to face the prospect of a government wide shutdown before is that Harry Reid refused to pass a budget and its accompanying appropriation bills. He would only offer a last minute omnibus bill forcing an all or nothing vote. Now that the Republicans control the Senate they can return to regular order and pass separate appropriation bills.
