Best Answer

South America had easier Immigration requirements than the USA or Canada and was distant enough from Nazi Europe that Jews who went there would not risk the Nazis conquering their host nations in the near future.

Ironically, these easier immigration requirements ultimately led to the Nazis who fled from Allied capture and imprisonment to flee to South America as well.
