“If I had to do it again, would I sit and think about how to phrase my words more carefully? Probably.”
Why? I think you cut right to the point. These people don’t need or deserve some flowery response. They need to move to North Korea—where they’ll be safe.

"Thank you for your letter, my dearest new constituent. I have thought long and hard about the liberal opinion letter you recently sent to me. I have taken some time here to respond to your concerns and hopefully help with the wrenching decision about which you are wrestling. Afterall, I am here to serve you.
You should leave. I recommend you go back to whatever liberal haven you came from in search of prosperity here in our great state.
Sincerely,

Never apologize, son, it's a sign of weakness.
