That's a flip -- NAFTA was supported by all of the establishment players except Labor.

The republicans loved it because they got to get rid of unions in the north and protect against unionization drives in the South (where we previously outsourced to).

The democrats liked it because their backers, particularly farmers saw it as a boon to agriculture.

It was, and it fucked American, Canadian and Mexican working class people. Millions of Mexicans didn't decide to walk across the desert for kicks. They did that because NAFTA flooded their market with cheap subsidized corn that vaporized the rural agricultural economy in Mexico, just like it did in the US.

Now the republicans have been eaten from the inside out by the true believers of their AstroTurf tea party movement. So they make a lot of noise about being against it now.
