One more in the long list of plants and animals brought here from foreign places because they're 'pretty' or 'cute'. We have more than our share of them. One of the big problems here is kochia, brought in as a cattle forage. That would be fine if they'd eat it but they won't.

Inject the stump with the COVID-19 vaccine of your choice. May require 4 or more applications. Or not.
The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.

I have always drilled a hole on the cut stump with a 3/4" or 1" auger then poured diesel in a couple of times...always worked and never any suckers coming up.

Cut it down, put Remedy on the stump Yepp... And come back next year just in case the suckers try to live. Ailanthus is not often a one and done thing.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Do the recommended stump treatments affect nearby trees? Often roots of different trees will graft to the roots of their neighboring trees. I have a beech tree I like near a red maple stump that I want to get rid of.

Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

Salt, swimming pool salt, coarse salt of some sort. It will sterilize the ground for about 3 years. Did you read the part where he has blue and live oaks growing in the area that he'd like to stay alive?

This stuff works no doubt, its deadly. Cut the tree down, while the cut is fresh, squirt some of this stuff on the outer edge of the stump where the bark is and you are done......actually, the tree is done. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/tordon-rtu-1-qtCaveat: I had a boxwood hedge at my rental property that had a bunch of oak saplings infesting it. I spent probably two hours cutting all of them and putting tordon on them. It killed them of course but the hedge ain't looking too good. It warned on the label where roots are intertwined, you might kill something you don't want to. They weren't kidding.

I use Toradon. I don't know who makes it but I find it at Tractor Supply. I have yet to have a tree or shrub come back.
