Not only are the African illegal immigrants in Israel causing a high wave of crime (from muggings, theft and rape of Israeli women), these illegal African immigrants are trying to convert to Judaism in order to stay in the country.
Fortunately their application for conversions are getting rejected because their intentions to do giyur are not for the sincere acceptance of the Torah but to just be able to stay in Israel:

Here are the highlights from the article:
All requests from refugees and illegal migrants from Africa to convert to Judaism have been rejected over the past year, according to a source in the Prime Minister's Office.
"Dozens of Africans come straight to our offices in Tel Aviv, try to convince us to allow them to submit a request that would be examined by an exceptions committee," a PMO official said on the sidelines of the PMO conversion department's annual convention last week. "Of course, all the requests were rejected."
There is no reason to convert people if they are just exploiting the conversion process to become Israeli citizens

Israel shouldn't have let them come in the first place.
