Read the following carefully. You'll realize that since most of the visiting parents are not US/Canada/Mexico citizens or residents (this is immigration residents, not tax residents!!!), they cannot be claimed as your dependents.
You cannot claim an exemption for a dependent unless that person is a U.S. citizen or resident, or a resident of Canada or Mexico, for some part of the calendar year in which your tax year begins. However, there is an exception for certain adopted children, as explained next.
