No. To be claimed as a dependent the person must be "a U.S.
citizen, U.S. national, or a resident of the United States,
Canada, or Mexico."

No. They fail the citizenship/residency test. See IRS
Publication 501.

Default allowable dependants

A lady from Armenia is in the US applying for residency.
She complied with the Immigration rules and properly
obtained a social security card. She earns $500 weekly and
supports her two minor children and elderly parents back in
Armenia. She sends them $800 monthly which represents 90%
of their total income. Can she claim her children and
parents as dependants on her US tax returns.
