It depends on the time of year and the latitude. Most of the time South America would be first because it lies much farther east than North America. However, in the middle of North American summer at high latitudes, North America is first. On June 21, St.John's Newfoundland (eastmost city in North America) has sunrise about a half-hour before Pernambuco, Brazil (eastmost city in South America).
Above the Arctic Circle, there is 24-hour sunlight in summer, but nobody cares except the polar bears.

Where is the first ray of sunlight seen in the United States?
This is actually a bit of a complicated answer, because it depends on what you really mean by "in the United States." And here's why I say that: Technically, Wake Island, an unorganized, unincorporated territory of the United States is west of the International date line, and so it is 1 day ahead of what we typically think of as "the United States." Maine is the eastern most State, and Lubec is the eastern most town, making it the eastern most town in the Continental United States to see daylight. However, West Quoddy Head, which is part of Lubec, is considered the eastern most point in the Continental United States. And, of course, Point Udall in St. Croix (U.S. Virgin Islands) is the eastern most point of all the US Territories.
