While the US importing Nazi scientists is ethically very questionable, it's not really the same. Many of those scientists were guilty of benefiting from the work of forced labor and such, though typically weren't involved in enslaving people themselves, while the Nazis given refuge in Argentina were directly responsible for not only that but the abuse and murder of millions of innocent civilians.

Also, let's not belittle the involvement of the German scientists that went to the US in the Nazi campaign, they knew very well what they were doing and each and every rocket launched against London had the signature of Werner von Braun on it.
