This article compares the public images of Colombian and Venezuelan immigrant organisations in the United States. Immigrant organisations' webpages and the expression of their main aims and goals serve to identify their major concerns as they create public images not only for the organisation but for the immigrant community itself. To interpret the immigrant organisations' public images and their goals, we offer a multilevel study that considers immigrants' contexts of exit, which are related to the motivation of migrate and the particular sociodemographic makeup of immigrant groups. This paper adds the Venezuelan immigrant experience to the literature on immigrant organisations.
本文比较了在美国的哥伦比亚和委内瑞拉移民组织的公众形象。移民组织的网页及其主要宗旨和目标的表述，不仅为组织本身，也为移民社区塑造公众形象，借此可确定其主要关切。为解读移民组织的公众形象及其目标，我们提供了一项多层次研究，该研究考虑了移民的迁出背景，这些背景与移民动机以及移民群体的特定社会人口构成相关。本文将委内瑞拉移民的经历纳入了有关移民组织的文献之中。
