QUINCY — City residents made red paper hearts and signs bearing welcoming messages Sunday afternoon to show support for migrant families being housed on a local university campus, as they sought to counter a hateful demonstration the night before by a neo-Nazi group. The temporary shelter and welcome center at Eastern Nazarene College opened in August as state officials sought to take pressure off the state's overcrowded emergency shelter system amid an influx of migrant families. On Saturday night, more than two dozen members of the Nationalist Social Club, or NSC-131 , a New England-based neo-Nazi group, marched to the campus and stood outside a dorm that has been used as a shelter for migrant families, most of whom are Haitian, Quincy police said.
