We found at 4,000' that the roots will resprout from within the little hole, as will the pulled plant if left with its rootball touching the ground. If you keep pinching/pulling there is a possibility that the roots in the ground will eventually die off. This isn't such a hassle if you don't already have a thicket of it.
Another choice would be to get some Garlon 3. 1:10 it and water, and treat both the hole you pull the sprouting plants out of and the base of the plants immediately. For the larger bushes you would want to cut the stump as close to the base as possible--leaving no lateral branches as the herbicide has problems spreading laterally. Treat the stump in the ground and the other end of the plant right after you cut it.
