Independent insurance agents who serve the Hispanic community may be in store for a busy year.
Immigration reform is on next years horizon, and in California a landmark law enabling undocumented individuals to obtain legitimate drivers licenses is set to be in force in 2015.
This all makes the timing ripe for a resurgence of the Latin American Agents Association, according to the founder of the Bell Gardens, Calif.-based group comprised of agents and brokers who provide insurance services to the Hispanic community and other minorities.
Evidently its also a good time to create a new organization: The Latin American Immigration Association, designed to enable insurance agents and tax preparers to put themselves in position to charge for immigration assistance services.
LAAA Founder and CEO Andre Urena
This latest endeavor is also the brainchild of LAAA Founder and CEO Andre Urena, who founded Confie Seguros, which was later branded Freeway Insurance.
Its Urenas plan with this new association to take willing tax preparers and insurance agents and make them immigration specialists.
Following President Obamas announcement to offer millions of undocumented immigrants a reprieve frombeing deported, Urena and LAAA members began to get the wheels rolling. The association has already obtained 1.6 million emails for tax preparers, and another 1.6 million emails for agents nationwide, and it has begun to build a nationwide infrastructure.
Urena was working to establish the infrastructure to make this happen at a demonstration agency in Downey, Calif. while he explained. In his scenario, an insurance agency or tax preparer with a brick-and-mortar shop in a largely Hispanic community will be a natural stop for undocumented people with questions about what will likely be an involved citizenship process.
As it stands any immigration reform that transpires will likely yield millions of individuals trying to navigate paperwork on their own, and there will be plenty of people scrupulous and unscrupulous to capitalize on that demand.

HOUSTON (FOX 26) - For many Hispanic families here in the Houston area this Christmas brings new hope. Some say the best present is the President's immigration reform. One family shares their story of hope and determination.
Gabby Elvin, a mom of three, crossed the border from Honduras more than twenty years ago. She says this is her first Christmas finally feeling that America is truly home.
The executive order from President Barack Obama has Gabby Elvin and her three kids filled with the joyous holiday spirit.
"Truly it is like a gift because now I have the opportunity like what Obama just said for parents. Now I don't have to worry about being separated from my kids because that was something that worried me a lot," Elvin said.
She can't wait for deferred action which will protect many illegal immigrants from being deported. She says families will be able to get better jobs and no longer have to live in fear. The single mom has waited for this her whole life and now it's just a matter of time.
"I have my stuff together. So I'm good. I'm getting ready for them especially because they need me," Elvin said.
Like any parent, Elvin looks forward to giving her children a better life.
"I want my kids to go to college. I want my kids to do better than I did," Elvin said, "And they already have those documents and I didn't have the opportunity because of that."
In this home, the true meaning of Christmas is hope.
"Hope, chance. There's a lot of things I haven't had the chance to do and now I am going to have the chance with my kids," Elvin said.
