Of course they have a say. The Constitution mandates they control the purse.
"In the federal government of the United States, the power of the purse is vested in the Congress as laid down in the Constitution of the United States, Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 (the Appropriations Clause) and Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 (the Taxing and Spending Clause)."
Trump has $12B at his disposal at the moment. Got another argument?
he's doing it with reprogrammed money from his own branch of government -- the almost $700,000,000,000 dollar defense budget. He's taking 5 of that $700,000,000,000 to build our nations wall. I hope there's enough left to build a statute of President Trump.
You would want a statue of the clown. Bet you have posters of him all over your walls. The wall is going to cost well over $25 billion. Where is the rest coming from?
No one is "stopping" him from building it with his own dime/donor's dimes...
LOL... as of today, no one... including congress.... is stopping him from using 12 billion dollars of federal funds to build that big beautiful wall...

ante up cheapskate or maybe take another 20 billion from the 700 billion dollar defense budget.
Elections have consequences, the wall was part of his message - he won, you lost, get over it.

I assume that the Wall will be built more or less accurately along the U.S.-Mexico border.
If the Wall encroaches somewhat on the private property within the U.S. of some U.S. landowners, then I suppose they should be paid for however many square feet of land they lose.
A certain level of sacrifice is required among citizens when your Government needs to separate off the territory of a foreign country that is not a part of the United States.
Check out the location of the purposed route of the wall. Much land will be given to the Mexico. The river is the border. The wall will not be built in the middle of the river.
How about we declare a national emergency and take half your property?
Its not the same crap, because Trump is actually grabbing billions of dollars of taxpayer money which was specifically denied by the Congress. Besides, I am not a Democrat, so spare me from the "but democrats" arguments.
did Congress and Senate gave a go sign to Obama to override & circumvent a US immigration law (8 USC 1225) by providing employment authorization and relief from deportation for undocumented immigrants back in 2012?
oh, you are not a democrat? my bad. How about a liberal? sounds better?
