Miners are not responsible for validating the Bitcoin blockchain. Users are responsible for validation, miners are responsible for ordering blocks. If a miner produces an invalid block, their block is not accepted by the network of users.

Nevertheless miners have a strong incentive to validate, so they don't waste their effort on an invalid block.
