Lamborghini Miami Strikes Gold With Foreign Rich
CNBC ^ | November 20, 2012 | Robert Frank, Reporter & Editor

Brett David has been selling Lamborghinis in Miami since he was 14 years old.

But never before has he sold so many super-cars to so many overseas buyers.

“I haven’t sold a Lamborghini to somebody who spoke English as their primary language in months and months, ” said David, the CEO of Lamborghini Miami, founded by his father. “It’s been months and months.”

The flood of overseas wealth pouring into the United States is remaking many corners of the economy, from the Manhattan condo market to the market for Abstract Expressionist paintings to wine, jewelry and fashion. But nowhere is the impact of foreign riches more noticeable than in Miami, and especially at Lamborghini Miami – one of the nation’s largest sellers of super-cars.

Lamborghini Miami’s showroom – which boats more than $15 million worth of super cars – hosts a steady stream of super-rich Brazilians, Argentines, Mexicans and Venezuelans, not to mention the occasional Russian and Chinese buyer. (Read more: Welcome to the New 'Russian Riviera')

“The markets between Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil are blowing up,” David said. “They are all coming here to live a lifestyle that they can’t live back in their hometown.”(continued)

So we're becoming a third-world enclave for other country's wealthy playboys and trophy wives? We'll be here primarily to cater to their wants and needs?

Yup, that’s us. Welcome to Obama’s new world order, with us at the bottom of the rung. How many of these nouveau riche South American foreigners, and Chinese and Russian mafia types made their money off of drug running, human smuggling and slavery, prostitution, illegal market transactions and other nefarious means, then move here to celebrate their ill gotten gains and feast off our open society. Welcome to our Third World Order.

As long as they aren’t American 1%’ers it’s all good.

There's been a war on American Caucasian males for quite a while now, on multiple fronts, and it's totally politically correct to be anti-white male.

Bingo.

We need to bring back US jobs, and stop importing so much.

Period. And now.

How do you think America's original 1%'ers got theirs? As another earlier poster lamented about the current crop of thugs enriching themselves via slavery, human trafficking, guns and drugs (booze/rum), and whatever else they could think of. I know it's all in the past, but let's not be too hypocritical complaining about it. The new rackets in America are bloodless, i.e. insurance scams, unscrupulous litigation, welfare fraud, pharmaceutical and food production/subsidy schemes, just to name a few. Welcome to the new America.

They are the new Soros Open Society, actually.

You have hard working Americans and soldiers on the one hand, and on the other the push for “open society” adultery and party behind the back, just like during Vietnam.
