His EO directed funds for the wall, and an EO can only legally direct funds that have been previously appropriated to a department's budget (I think it is that broad, it could be narrower, but it would make sense if he can redirect funds in a department budget). As this would fall under the budget of the DHS, this figure would come out of other budget areas of the DHS. Though it will only be a partial amount that will be taken from other budgets, as the project will last more than a year, Congress will likely be appropriating funds specifically for this which will come from the general fund. As the Executive does not have the authority to name the revenue source, that will be up to Congress to legislate.
