Nebraska GOP Senate candidate Sid Dinsdale found himself the target of plagiarism charges on Friday.

The online publication BuzzFeed highlighted that Dinsdale's campaign website includes immigration-­related material that uses the same wording previously used by two other politicians and an advocacy group.

For example, BuzzFeed said, a 2011 press release by Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., included this language:

“The last time our immigration laws were overhauled was in 1986, with amnesty granted to three million illegal immigrants. At the time, Americans voters were led to believe this would solve our immigration problem. However, since then the number of illegal immigrants has quadrupled (by conservative estimates).”
