My parents are US Nationals living in American Samoa. They are unemployed and I pay more than half their living exp. Can I claim them and are they citizens or legal res?

Yes, if you provide over half of their support, you can claim them as your Dependents.  

 

Your parents don't have to live with you.

They are considered legal residents, as indicated by this IRS Link
