Does sponsoring immigrants under humanitarian parole causes them to be my dependents for tax purposes?

No. 

To claim someone as a dependent they must have a Social Security number or an ITIN issued by the IRS.  Since they are not related to you they must have lived in your home for the entire year and you must have provided over one-half of their support.

The person must be a U.S. citizen or a U.S., Canada, or Mexico resident for some part of the year.
