I've read Dillehay. Can't see any reference to Polynesians keeping
going and reaching the Americas. It's all Behring Straits stuff.

Or are you suggesting that there is evidence that the Polynesians kept

This has been claimed. See :

Dillehay T D, Tracking the first Americans, Nature 2003; 425: 23-24

González-José R, et al, Craniometric evidence for Palaeoamerican survival
in Baja California, Nature 2003; 425: 62-65

Also there was another claim regarding a single skull, named Luzia from
South America (can't find the exact reference) which was also claimed to
be of possible Asian origin.
