The U.S. Senate is scheduled to vote Tuesday on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill, which includes amendments that will block President Barack Obama's immigration executive actions.

The DHS funding bill, which already passed the House of Representatives, has its opposition, namely the Senate's Democrats, who are expected to block Republican efforts to move the bill forward as Democrats oppose the amendments, which would stop funding for Obama's deferred action program.

Democrats have called for a "clean bill" that will strictly focus on the DHS' funding. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the DHS bill should pass with "no strings attached."

"If my Republican colleagues don't like something President Obama has done dealing with executive orders, which by the way he's done less than any President in modern times, bring it up on the Senate floor and let's have a debate on that," said Reid, in a prepared statement. "Let's not do what happened previously and shut down government. That's the direction we're headed, and that is really too bad."

"The House-passed bill we'll consider would do two things: fund the Department of Homeland Security and rein in executive overreach," said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. "That's it. It's simple. And there's no reason for Democrats to block it."

During remarks at the Senate floor, McConnell added Obama's executive action made an already broken immigration system even worse. He continued, "It's about imposing even more unfairness on immigrants who've already worked so hard and played by all the rules. It's hard to understand why the President would want to impose additional unfairness on immigrants like these who just want to live their own American dream. The question is, do Democrats agree with him?"

The bill's amendments impact Obama's 2012 executive action creating the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which provided temporary relief for undocumented immigrant youths from deportation. According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services data, more than 600,000 undocumented immigrants successfully applied for DACA.

Obama has said he will veto legislation that would reverse his immigration executive actions. During his remarks for the 2016 fiscal year budget, Obama blamed congressional Republicans for potentially not funding the DHS.

"As one Republican put it, if they let [the DHS] funding run out, 'it's not the end of the world.' That's what they said. Well, I guess literally that's true; it may not be the end of the world. But until they pass a funding bill, it is the end of a paycheck for tens of thousands of frontline workers who will continue to get -- to have to work without getting paid. Over 40,000 Border Patrol and Customs agents. Over 50,000 airport screeners. Over 13,000 immigration officers. Over 40,000 men and women in the Coast Guard," said Obama during an address at the DHS.

While Republicans control the Senate with 54 seats, the DHS funding bill, with the amendments, requires 60 votes to pass. The DHS bill, if passed, will fund the department with $40 billion until September, which is the end of the 2015 fiscal year.

UPDATE: Feb. 3, 2:59 p.m. EST: The Senate voted not to move forward with the DHS funding bill.
