Not when your passport is floating in the Rio Grande.....

No, it's still incredibly stupid. They're not going to let you out of detention before your credible fear interview, and without your passport or any other form of ID it's going to be hard for you to pass that. You're vastly better off having a falsified passport and just flying in, like all the terrorists who were involved in the WTC and 9/11 bombings. Or even just trying to sneak in across the southern border. Turning yourself in to Border Patrol with no ID, thinking that you can bluff your way into being released (rather than being in the 15% that's held in detention, which your "no ID" makes you a prime candidate for), is an idiotic plan.
