Like everyone said, going out and shooting them is an effective option.  But I prefer to employ an open base plan instead.  Put your central building out in the open, put some turrets around it, and put a perimeter wall around that some 20 squares out with holes in it.  The sappers will walk up to your perimeter wall, some will work on making a new hole while others mill through existing ones to get cut down by your colonists waiting safely behind turrets. 
If you give an annoying colonist a parka before banishing him to the ice sheet you'll only get a -3 penalty instead of -5.

And don't forget that the pirates chasing a refugee are often better recruits than the refugee is.
