OF SEVERAL PARDONS AND COMMUNATIONS. LIKELY THE PRESIDENT'S LAST SIGNIFICANT ACTIONS LEAVING THE WHITE HOUSE. >>> SOON AFTER TAKING THE OATH OF OFFICE, PRESIDENT-ELECT BIDEN PLANS TO SIGN EXECUTIVE ORDERS. LAURA LESLIE LOOKS AT HOW PLANS COULD AFFECT NORTH CAROLINA. >> GOOD AFTERNOON. >> Reporter: ONE OF PRESIDENT- ELECT JOE BIDEN'S FIRST ACTIONS WILL BE EXTENDING THE CURRENT PAUSE ON EVICTIONS AND STUDENT LOAN PAYMENTS. BOTH WERE SCHEDULED TO RESUME AT THE END OF THIS MONTH. HE'LL ALSO FORMALLY REJOIN THE PARIS CLIMATE ACCORD, THE GLOBAL AGREEMENT TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE, WHICH THREATENS NORTH CAROLINA'S COAST AND ITS FARMERS. THE BIGGEST IMPACT HERE COULD COME FROM THE IMMIGRATION REFORM PROPOSAL BIDEN IS ALSO UNVEILING TOMORROW. IT WOULD ALLOW PEOPLE IN THE DEFERRED ACTION FOR CHILDHOOD ARRIVALS OR DACA PROGRAMS TO APPLY FOR A GREEN CARD IMMEDIATELY ALONG WITH OTHER IMMIGRANTS ON TEMPORARY PROTECTIVE STATUS. MORE THAN 24,000 NORTH CAROLINIANS ARE DACA RECIPIENTS ALSO KNOWN AS DREAMERS. THEY'VE BEEN IN LEGAL LIMBO SINCE 2017 AS THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TRIED TO RESCIND THAT PROGRAM. VERONICA AVILAR SAYS THE CHANGE WOULD BE A HUGE RELIEF. >> IT'S A CHANCE TO FINALLY BE ABLE TO ACCESS LONG-TERM NOT JUST TEMPORARILY THE SORT OF SECURITY OF KNOWING THE STATUS. >> BIDEN'S PROPOSAL WOULD ALSO PROVIDE AN EIGHT-YEAR PATH TO CITIZENSHIP FOR UNAUTHORIZED IMMIGRANTS WHO WERE IN THE COUNTRY AS OF JANUARY 1. >> Reporter: MANY OF THESE CHANGES WOULD REQUIRE CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL AND CONGRESS HAS NOT APPROVED ANY MAJOR IMMIGRATION REFORM IN DECADES. BUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL BIDEN PROMISED THAT THIS WOULD BE ONE OF HIS TOP PRIORITIES. AVILAR SAYS THE LATINO X COMMUNITY IS WATCHING. >> I'M HEARING FROM OTHER PEOPLE AND MYSELF INCLUDED. THERE IS A BRIGHTER FUTURE, BUT IS IT ACTUALLY GOING TO HAPPEN? THIS NEED TO MAKE SURE TO PUSH FORWARD. >> Reporter: LAURA LESLIE WRAL
