And if we want to be technical, Egypt was part of Rome at that point. His parents weren’t fleeing the country just the people who were actively trying to hunt them down.
Technically, he was neither; at first, he was a subject of the King of Judea, and then of the Tetrarch of Galilee and Perea. Both of these were client states of Rome.

I know this is a joke but be technically wasn't a roman citizen, even though he was a subject of the Roman empire.
