I forgot the link to the vote:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Free_Trade_Agreement#:~:text=The%20agreement's%20supporters%20included%20132,34%20Republicans%20and%2027%20Democrats.

The agreement's supporters included 132 Republicans and 102 Democrats. The bill passed the Senate on November 20, 1993, 61–38.[21] Senate supporters were 34 Republicans and 27 Democrats. Republican Representative David Dreier of California, a strong proponent of NAFTA since the Reagan Administration, played a leading role in mobilizing support for the agreement among Republicans in Congress and across the country.[22][23]

Chicago Congressman Luis Gutiérrez in particular was a vocal opponent of NAFTA, ultimately voting against the measure because of what he considered its failure to sufficiently provide for displaced worker retraining, protections against American job loss, and protections of collective bargaining rights for Mexican workers.[24] He criticized the role of Rahm Emanuel in particular for the deficiencies.[25]

The U.S. required its partners to adhere to environmental practices and regulations similar to its own.[26]
