In Pics | President-elect Joe Biden will take these decisions on very first day in office

On his first day as US President, Joe Biden will halt construction of a wall on US-Mexico border. Donald Trump had made border wall a prestige issue. It was his poll promise in 2016 US Elections that was widely panned as unnecessary, expensive and divisive.

Immigration reforms
Joe Biden will send a bill to revamp immigration policies and give millions of undocumented migrants living in US a path to citizenship.
Emission standards
Joe Biden will reverse Donald Trump's decisions to ease emissions and efficiency standards. He will rescind permission for Keystone XL pipeline. It is a large project that'll bring high-polluting Canadian oil in US.
