The right to an attorney is actually limited to criminal defendants, so if they don't charge you with anything, you aren't actually afforded that protection Constitutionally. So if they just detain you, they can credibly ignore this. I'm not 100% sure on how Miranda rights apply to border detainee situations, but if they do apply, you'd get a phone call. If they don't, your options are basically to wait them out.
