Can this mean like water off a duck's back, i.e. the statue erected in honor of Benito is not affected by the wind blowing on it? That's what I thought, anyway.

Yes, this is the equivalent refrán.

Thanks Rusty. Now I think about it, should it be hacerle instead of hacer?

Yes. Hacerle a alguien lo que el viento a Juárez.

le hizo lo que el viento a Juárez = no le hizo nada
