The Border Patrol's computerized fingerprint identification system is really paying off.

In just three days this week, agents have caught three wanted sex offenders as they illegally tried to cross the border into Arizona.

Monday near Naco, agents arrested a man who was wanted in Wisconsin for a sexual offense.

That same day near Sells, agents picked up a man who had been convicted of "unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor" in California.

And Wednesday near Nogales, agents found that an illegal border crosser had a warrant out on him from Ohio for unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.

All three suspects are in the process of being sent back to the state where they were wanted to face charges.
