No. Miners construct blocks that adhere to the protocol rules agreed upon by validating economic nodes (full nodes run by economic participants of the network).

Ask yourself why miners haven't forked to a version of Bitcoin that gives a higher block reward and you'll understand how it works. Nobody would accept these blocks as valid so the money they are "creating" would be worthless.
