Subject: Is saltwater alkaline?

I came across a statement in a CSET reviewer that saltwater will turn red litmus paper blue because it is alkaline. I know salts are neutralization products of the reaction between acids and bases and thus, are supposed to form neutral solutions.
 
Are there basic impurities in salt that might make saltwater alkaline?
