A few weeks ago, there was great debate on whether gay couple should achieve equality under federal immigration law in the new immigration reform bill.

Now that the Windsor/DOMA rulings says federal protections apply to gay couples too, does that cover the immigration laws? Has it now been accomplished with this decision?
